Somen Noodles

Somen noodles, slim in constitution and swift to cook, are the unsung heroes of the pasta world. Bright white and made primarily from wheat, they have a delicate, almost silky texture, perfectly suited for absorbing flavors and adding finesse to any dish. Ideal for more than just your typical spaghetti night, somen noodles are a favorite in both hot and cold dishes throughout Japan. Their paleness belies their potential: just a quick dip in boiling water, then a rinse, and they're ready to rock any noodle bowl or salad you're planning.
