IMG_4846<How to Boil Noodles>
Fill a medium-to-large-size pot mostly full with water. Bring this to a boil. Place the sōmen noodles into the boiling water, taking care to let them spread out. Boil for 1 minute, dump the contents of the pot into a strainer and then transfer the noodles from the strainer to a mixing bowl or pot filled with cold water. Use your hands to rinse the noodles in the cold water, changing the water 2-3 times. Finally drain off the rinse water.
