Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook Somen Noodles: Boil the somen noodles according to the package instructions, about 1–2 minutes. Drain the noodles in a strainer, then rinse under cold running water to cool them down and remove excess starch. Drain well.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the miso sauce from the canned mackerel, water, soy sauce, vinegar, and grated ginger.
- Prepare the Toppings: Separate the mackerel pieces from the sauce and chop the scallions
- Serve: Place the chilled somen noodles in serving bowls. Top with the canned mackerel and chopped scallions. Pour the sauce over the noodles and enjoy.
Notes
- Boil with plenty of water to keep noodles from sticking.
- Rinse under cold water right after boiling to stop cooking and remove starch; this makes them firm and chewy.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste. If you want more flavor, add a little more soy sauce or salt.
