Somen salad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somen salad is a Japanese type of noodle-based salad that is served cold. The salad is a variety dish based on its main ingredient, the somen noodle. Essentially, the salad comprises of three main parts: the noodles, the vinegar-based sauce and the garnish. Some recipes include ingredients such as chicken broth, lemon juice or even sesame oil for mixing in the broth. On the other hand, the variety of the type of garnish is even more, ranging from shredded lettuce, spring onions, sesame seeds, slivered char siu or ham to even scrambled eggs.
