Ingredients (for 2 people):

  • 1 bunch of somen noodles (ref. NISIBO11)
  • 30 g of white sesame paste (ref. NISYS33)
  • 30 g of dashi kombu broth (ref. NISST36)
  • 2 g of soy sauce usukuchi (ref. NISSK21)
  • 1 g of wasabi oil (ref. NISNISHOT)
  • 13 g of dried Karasumi bottarga
  • A few fresh aromatic herbs

Preparation of the sesame somen recipe:

1. Cook the somen noodles

Plunge the somen noodles into a saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes.

Stop the cooking by cooling them in iced water to halt the cooking process and give them a perfect texture, then drain.

Drizzle the cooled noodles with 1 g of wasabi oil.

2. Prepare the sesame sauce for the somen

In a bowl, mix 30 g of white sesame paste, 30 g of dashi broth, 2 g of usukuchi soy sauce.

Stir carefully to obtain a smooth and well-balanced sauce.

3. Plate the dish

Arrange the somen noodles on a plate with the sesame sauce.

Finely grate the 13 g of Karasumi bottarga directly over the noodles for an intense umami flavour.

4. Finish and serve

Scatter fresh aromatic herbs over the dish to add a touch of colour and freshness.

Add a few extra drops of wasabi oil, to taste, to enhance the flavours.
