I came up with this original sesame sauce with my husband. We add miso to the sauce.Miso is the key ingredient, but you should only add a very small amount. It's just about enough if you don't really notice the flavor of the miso right away.Once I created this recipe, this sauce has become a regular feature in our household. You can make a really nice meal out of somen noodles thanks to this sauce.This is great for udon noodles too. Recipe by wakwaksan

I was bored with regular somen noodles, but store-bought mentsuyu is expensive and I only had a little of it, so I tried making this dipping sauce.The mentsuyu, ra-yu, sesame seed, ginger and green onion amounts are an approximate. Adjust the amount to your liking. Try with salted sliced cucumber, tomatoes, myoga ginger, shiso leaves, etc. to make a hearty noodles dish! This dipping sauce can be used with rice or udon noodles too. Recipe by Nekoyanagi shouten

I love cold noodles with sesame sauce, but the dish can be bit heavy when I'm losing my appetite due to the hot weather. I wanted to make a refreshing dish with a sauce on the lighter side that I could enjoy until the last bite.Add ra-yu (chili oil) at the end if you like. Recipe by caramel-cookie

I love somen noodles and cook them frequently during the hot season.If desired, mix with the remaining dressing. For 1 serving. Recipe by momoco

I wanted to eat somen noodles with lots of vegetables, and came up with this recipe.If you add a little sesame oil to the cooked somen noodles and mix it in, it will prevent them from sticking together and be easier to eat.Cut the vegetables to the same length to make them easier to eat and prettier too.Use mentsuyu sauce or soy sauce, whichever you prefer.Use whatever vegetables you like, as well as imitation crab sticks or other ingredients!! For about 1 serving. Recipe by Mahojo

My husband gets home late, so I wanted to come up with a noodle recipe that can be made in advance and is light on the stomach. Now this recipe is a family favorite. I think you could use pasta too.If you don't have sesame paste, use ground sesame seeds. After chilling the sauce, mix it up before putting it in the serving bowl. The color may look a bit pale in the main photo, but as long as you use the right amount of ingredients it will be properly flavored. Make sure to chill everything well before serving. Ice cold, it tastes so much better than when it's just lukewarm. Cook the noodles so that they're on the firm side before draining, rinsing well in cold water and draining again. For 1 serving. Recipe by Sabumochi

I've been making this sauce since I was a child, since I was always assigned the task. It's that easy.When you add the water, you may want to put a little in first to dissolve the miso, then add the rest. For 1 serving. Recipe by zakkiiM

We like chilled Chinese-style noodles with lots of vegetables, so the sauce sachets included with the shop-bought noodle packets are too small. We want to use plenty of sauce, so I always make homemade sauce and keep in the fridge. If zhi ma jiang or sesame paste are not available, you don't have to use them! Add more ground sesame seeds instead.You can use the soup from poaching the chicken (150 ml) to make the sauce instead of the boiling water, water and Chinese chicken stock granules. Add some salt if necessary. If you add the sauce sachets attached to the noodle packets, make just half of the homemade sauce. Add more doubanjiang or ra-yu to taste. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

I wanted to try another Cookpad recipe that called for pork and Chinese chives, but I only had ground pork. (Rats!) But I decided go to go through with cooking anyway, and it turned out delicious!The soup/sauce is mixed with the somen noodles so it should be very well flavored. The soup prevents the somen noodles from sticking together. You can omit the lemon juice if you like, but the flavor is much better with it added in. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Love lunch sato

I'm fond of making easy granité at home with club soda, so I tried the method with bonito based mentsuyu noodle sauce concentrate. The result tasted really good, with the flavor of the bonito coming through well. I had my parents try it out too since they're particular about food, but they loved it!All you have to do is make the noodle sauce granité and freeze it, and chill the additions. Then just cook and cool the somen noodles. It's easy! Great for guests. For 3 servings. Recipe by Kikikiki
