Thinking about…mom
zuchini namul with lots of ginger kinshi-tamago/eggs, cucumbers, cabbage… more toppings the better dip into somen sauce , miso OR seseme sauces …
When there’s a heatwave, one tends to stay out of the kitchen… all we want would be watermelon slices?
My mother used to make this when I was growing up … Hot humid summers in Japan, one tends to lose her appetite – called “Natsu-Bate” = losing to summer heat. So tendencies to eat cooling slippery Somen noodles which she would say has no nutrition. These toppings therefore, madeup for lack of otherwise nutrition-less noodles … If you prefer, chicken works well or if you are vegan or vegetarian, subsititle and replace ham with firm tofu matchsticks cuts; more deeper greens such as kale and spinich … Korean Namul would also work really well !
