remember that the cute little dong-dong would often sneak in a late-night snack for his family, especially the ice-cold dong-dong shaved ice. Today, we're going to show you how to make dong-dong's late-night shaved ice with simple ingredients and an easy process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cold somen is a classic Japanese noodle dish for summer, and its simplicity and speed make it a great late-night snack. Here's an easy recipe for cold somen that you can make in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%EB%83%89%EC%86%8C%EB%A9%98%EC%9D%B4%EB%9E%80\"><\/span>What is Cynomene?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cold somen is a traditional dish originating from Japan, where thin somen noodles are served cold. The noodles are made from wheat flour and are boiled and rinsed several times in cold water to give the noodles more texture. The soy sauce-based broth, tsuyu, is diluted with water to give it a clean, deep flavor, and wasabi and scallions are added for flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cold somen is one of Japan's summertime favorites, and it's easy to make at home. Beat the heat with a bowl of chilled noodles and enjoy a light meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about Crysomen, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Somen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wikipedia<\/a>for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recipe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%EB%A0%88%EC%8B%9C%ED%94%BC_%EB%83%89%EC%86%8C%EB%A9%98_%EB%A7%8C%EB%93%A4%EA%B8%B0\"><\/span>Recipe: Making Cold Somen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%EC%A4%80%EB%B9%84_%EC%9E%AC%EB%A3%8C_1%EC%9D%B8_%EA%B8%B0%EC%A4%80\"><\/span>Ingredients (per person)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Somen:<\/strong> 100 g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tzuyu:<\/strong> 2T<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wasabi:<\/strong> Depending on your preference<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scallions:<\/strong> Makes 1 white portion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ice:<\/strong> Moderate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By measurements: 1 T=15 cc, use 1 t=5 cc measuring spoons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EB%90%9C_%EC%A0%9C%ED%92%88_%EC%A0%95%EB%B3%B4\"><\/span>Product information used<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"4000\" src=\"https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/1\ubbf8\uc5f0\uc218\uc640\uc18c\uba74-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Uncooked water noodles\" class=\"wp-image-4000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/1\ubbf8\uc5f0\uc218\uc640\uc18c\uba74-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/1\ubbf8\uc5f0\uc218\uc640\uc18c\uba74-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/1\ubbf8\uc5f0\uc218\uc640\uc18c\uba74-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/1\ubbf8\uc5f0\uc218\uc640\uc18c\uba74-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/1\ubbf8\uc5f0\uc218\uc640\uc18c\uba74.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"3999\" src=\"https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2\uae30\uaf2c\ub9cc\ud63c\ucbd4\uc720-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Kikkoman Hontsuyu 4x Concentrated\" class=\"wp-image-3999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2\uae30\uaf2c\ub9cc\ud63c\ucbd4\uc720-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2\uae30\uaf2c\ub9cc\ud63c\ucbd4\uc720-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2\uae30\uaf2c\ub9cc\ud63c\ucbd4\uc720-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2\uae30\uaf2c\ub9cc\ud63c\ucbd4\uc720-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2\uae30\uaf2c\ub9cc\ud63c\ucbd4\uc720.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"674\" height=\"674\" data-id=\"4001\" src=\"https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3\uc5f0\uc640\uc0ac\ube44.jpg\" alt=\"Lotus\" class=\"wp-image-4001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3\uc5f0\uc640\uc0ac\ube44.jpg 674w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3\uc5f0\uc640\uc0ac\ube44-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ezhomecooking.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3\uc5f0\uc640\uc0ac\ube44-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The unburned side:<\/strong> Made in the Miwa region of Nara Prefecture, Japan, these traditional hand-rolled somen noodles are made by hand over a 36-hour process.
