Somen Salad! Refreshing & Satisfying Cold Noodle Dish

Somen is a super thin noodle, typically eaten cold in the summer in Japan. It can be dipped in mentsuyu like soba, or can be eaten as a salad like this! I'll show you how to prepare the toppings and a sesame and soy dressing. This version of somen salad is popular in Hawaii too.
