ingredients:

step 1:

Pour the water into a big pan. Bring to a boil and add the dried thin white noodles (dried sōmen). Boil for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

step 2:

After boiling, drain the noodles in a colander and quickly run cold water over them.

step 3:

Because too much starch and salt on the noodles can make them taste slimy, wash them with your hands under cold running water to remove any extra starch.

step 4:

Drain again. After cooking, 150 g dried noodles becomes about 480 g cooked noodles.
