Sōmen (素麺) is very thin Japanese noodles made of wheat flour. The noodles are usually served cold in summer with a Dashi flavored tasty dipping sauce called Mentsuyu (めんつゆ).

Potato Somen Noodles Recipe

Difficulty: Very Easy

Time: 10min

Number of servings: as much as you want

Ingredients:

potatoes

Mentsuyu (dipping sauce)

condiments of your choice

Directions:

1. Wash and peel potatoes. Put water in a bowl. Using a slicer, slice potatoes into thin strips. Soak in water to remove extra starch.

2. In boiling water, add salt, then blanch the potatoes for 15 seconds. Drain in a strainer and quickly wash with cold water before the potato strips get soft with remaining heat.

3. Dip in diluted Mentsuyu (as instructed on its package) to eat.

I used this Mentsuyu btw:

((Somen Dipping Sauce from scratch))

* 300ml Dashi broth (using packaged dashi powder saves time)

* 4 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)

* 4 tbsp. soy sauce

 In a pot, bring Dashi broth, Mirin, and soy sauce to a boil. You can also microwave until it comes to a boil. Cool in the fridge until ready to serve.
