Somen Salad is a cold noodle salad that usually is studded with omelette, char shu, and fish cake. Sōmen salad (素麺サラダ, Sōmen sarada) is a Japanese type of noodle-based salad that is served cold. It is a dish based on its main ingredient, the sōmen noodle. Essentially, the salad consists of three main parts: the noodles, the vinegar-based sauce, and the garnish. I have been craving somen salad for a while now, but I didn't know what it was called so I couldn't ask my mom about it.
