Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Slice the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces, about 1cm thick. This ensures a pleasant chewy texture.

Step 1

Step 2

In a pot, combine 4 cups (approx. 800ml) of water with 1 tsp of minced garlic and 2 Tbsp of the noodle soup base. These are the foundational ingredients for a flavorful broth.

Step 3

Bring the water with the noodle soup base to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the thinly sliced green onions. Adding green onions will make the broth even more refreshing and clean-tasting.

Step 4

Generously add the sliced squid and chive fish cakes to the pot. The fish cakes will absorb the broth’s flavor, enhancing the overall taste.

Step 5

The squid and chive fish cakes are already seasoned, so you likely won’t need to add extra salt. Enjoy the inherent flavor of the fish cakes.

Step 6

Cook the somen noodles according to package directions, then rinse them under cold water and drain thoroughly. Place the drained noodles into a serving bowl. Draining well prevents the noodles from becoming mushy.
