Ume-Spicy Cold Somen

Instructions

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine water and Kayanoya Original Dashi Stock Powder. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2–3 minutes, then add [A] and remove from heat. Chill thoroughly.

Step 2

Mash the umeboshi and mix with doubanjiang to make the spicy ume paste [B].

Step 3

Cook the somen noodles and thinly sliced beef separately. In bowls, arrange the noodles, beef, [B], and torn shiso leaves. Pour the cold dashi broth over and serve.

Tip

Mix in the spicy ume paste little by little for the perfect balance of umami, acidity, and heat.
