Ingredients- 100g somen noodles
- 50g chives
- 2 Tbsp perilla oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the somen noodles. Measure out 100g for a single serving.
Step 2
Wash the chives thoroughly and finely chop them into small pieces.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, katsuobushi mentsuyu (or anchovy sauce for a similar umami flavor), sugar, and vinegar. Stir well to create the seasoning sauce. Adjust sweetness and sourness to your preference.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt to prevent the noodles from sticking. Add the somen noodles and gently loosen them with chopsticks to prevent clumping. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until al dente.
Step 5
Drain the cooked noodles and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. This step is crucial for achieving a chewy texture.
Step 6
Place the chopped chives at the bottom of a serving bowl.
Step 7
Arrange the drained and rinsed somen noodles on top of the chives.
Step 8
Drizzle the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over the noodles. Finish by pouring the perilla oil over the top. Toss everything together well with chopsticks and enjoy your delicious bibim guksu!
