Relatives that have a similar effect
These two types of Asian noodles and soups
seem to be used interchangeably; in fact, the Mixed Stew crew substituted ramen
noodles for somen in this week’s recipe. What makes them truly
different from each other? Both types of noodles contain water and wheat
flour but Ramen noodles also contain eggs as a main ingredient. Ramen
noodles appear yellow in color and somewhat curly or wavy. Meanwhile,
authentic somen noodles are white in color and are comparable to
angel hair. Somen noodles also tend to be more light and delicate. Saimin specifically
refers to the rendition or offshoot of Asian noodle soup that’s popular in
Hawaii.
