Product Name: Somen Noodles
Specifications: 500g/pack, 1kg/pack
Ingredients: Wheat flour, water, salt
Product Description:
Somen are very thin, white noodles made from wheat flour, with a diameter typically less than 1.3mm. They are a traditional East Asian noodle variety, originating from China and later becoming a staple in Japanese and Korean cuisines. When cooked, somen have a smooth, light, and delicate texture.
The production process involves kneading, resting, and stretching the dough, often with the help of vegetable oil, to create thin strands that are then air-dried. This craft gives somen their characteristic slightly chewy yet soft mouthfeel.
In Japan, somen is an iconic summer dish, typically served chilled with a light dipping sauce called tsuyu. In Korea, similar thin noodles called somyeon are used in both hot soups (like janchi-guksu) and cold mixed dishes (like bibim-guksu).
