Nyumen: This is a noodle recipe that I absolutely love.

Nyumen（にゅうめん）

What kind of dish is Nyumen??

A dish of somen noodles in a warm soup rich in the flavor of shiitake mushrooms.

Somen is a thin udon-like noodle made from wheat flour. Nyumen is a hot soup with somen noodles.
It is easy to eat even when you have no appetite. You can make a very delicious soup with shiitake mushrooms and chicken.

Dried shiitake mushrooms are a special product of Oita Prefecture. There are also thinly sliced ones, but this recipe uses the one called “Donko”. The flavor is completely different when you use this because you can get a strong and thick soup stock.

Tororo kombu is a food product made from kelp. It is made by pickling kelp in vinegar to soften it, hardening it, and then shaving it into thin threads．It is often used as an ingredient in rice balls and soups.

Kamaboko is a type of fish paste product made by shaping and heating minced fish meat.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
