ingredients:
- 5 1/4 ounces dried thin white
- noodles (sōmen)
- 2 quarts water
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, 5 1/4 ounces dried noodles becomes about 17 ounces cooked noodles.
