Sōmen salad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sōmen salad (素麺サラダ, Sōmen sarada^?) is a Japanese type of noodle-based salad that is served cold. The salad is a variety dish based on its main ingredient, the sōmen noodle. Essentially, the salad consists of three main parts: the noodles, the vinegar-based sauce and the garnish. Some recipes include ingredients such as chicken broth, lemon juice or even sesame oil for mixing in the broth. On the other hand, the variety of the type of garnish is even more, ranging from shredded lettuce, spring onions, sesame seeds, slivered char siu or ham to even scrambled eggs.
