   Add the somen noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package directions, usually 2-3 minutes, until al dente.

   Wskazówka kucharza: Do not overcook somen noodles as they can become mushy quickly.

5. 5

   Drain the noodles immediately and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. Continue rinsing until the noodles are completely cold and any excess starch is removed.

   Około 2 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Rinsing well prevents the noodles from sticking together and keeps them firm.

   Divide the cold noodles into individual serving portions and arrange them neatly on plates or a zaru (bamboo mat) if you have one.
