Outstanding Somen Noodles with Bonito Noodle Sauce Granite
- 50 ml Bonito dashi base mentsuyu (2x concentrate)
- 40 ml Club soda
- 2 bundles Somen noodles
- 6 Cherry tomatoes
- 3 leaves Shiso leaves
- 1 dash Japanese leek
- Put the mentsuyu sauce concentrate and club soda in a bowl, mix together lightly and freeze for at least an hour.
- (You may question using the use of club soda to dilute the mentsuyu concentrate, but you don't taste the soda in it at all when it's turned into a granite.)
- Even if you leave it in the freezer for a long time, it won't turn into a solid block due to the carbonation.
- Break it up with a fork, and the granite is done.
- Boil the somen noodles for a minute and a half, drain and cool in cold water, and drain well.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters, finely shred the shiso leaves and slice the leek very thinly using a slicer.
- Arrange the somen noodles in glasses, top with the leek, tomatoes and granite, and decorate with the shiso leaves.
