3Boil the somen noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse thoroughly under running water until no longer slimy, then rinse in ice water. Drain thoroughly.

5《 Tips 》
Using Plum Pickled in Honey gives the noodle soup a nice aroma and a refreshing taste. Lowering the temperature of the water before adding the pork prevents the pork from shrinking and becoming hard.
