About Somen

Somen is a type of thin Japanese noodle made primarily from wheat flour, water, and a small amount of salt. Known for its delicate texture and mild flavor, somen is often consumed cold, especially during warmer months, and paired with a light dipping sauce called tsuyu. Originating from Japan, it has been a staple in traditional Japanese cuisine for centuries. Somen noodles are low in fat and provide a moderate amount of carbohydrates, making them a light and versatile option for meals. However, they lack fiber and protein, so pairing them with nutrient-rich toppings like vegetables, lean proteins, or tofu can create a more balanced dish. Their quick cooking time and adaptability make somen a convenient choice for those seeking a refreshing, easy-to-digest meal.
