Chilled Seafood Somen
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tails on
- 4 pieces squid, cleaned
- 1 1/4 cups Tomato Dipping Sauce (page 86)
- 14 ounces dried somen noodles
- 1 1/3 cups arugula
- 1/2 cup crabmeat, picked over
- 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped toasted pine nuts
- Prepare an ice bath and place a pot of heavily salted water over high heat.
- When the water comes just to a boil, add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the water and submerge in the ice bath.
- Add the squid to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, then submerge in the ice bath.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp and squid, as both will become very tough.
- Remove the seafood from the ice bath and pat dry.
- Slice the squid into 1/4-inch-thick rings and combine in a small bowl with the shrimp and 1/4 cup of the dipping sauce.
- Mix well and set aside.
- Place a pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Add the somen noodles and cook, following package instructions.
- Rinse under cold running water until chilled, then drain well.
- Divide the noodles equally among 4 plates.
- Top each plate of noodles with one-fourth of the arugula, shrimp, squid, and crabmeat.
- Garnish with the tomatoes and pine nuts and finish by drizzling 1/4 cup of the remaining tomato dipping sauce on each plate.
