Enjoy a refreshing meal with Boiled Okra and Japanese Somen Noodles. Fresh okra and thin noodles come together in a light, savory broth—perfect for when you want something cool and easy!
Preparation: Trim the stems off the okra, boil for 1-2 minutes, and then slice into thin rounds. To make the soup, combine the mentsuyu and rice vinegar in a bowl.
Cook Somen Noodles: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the somen noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Stir the noodles gently with chopsticks to keep them from clumping together.
Drain the Noodles: Once cooked, drain the noodles using a strainer, then rinse them under cold running water to cool.
Serve: Place the cooled somen noodles in a serving bowl, pour the mentsuyu soup over them, and top with the chopped okra. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
