VEGAN COLD SOMEN NOODLES WITH DIPPING SAUCE
[ヴィーガン冷やし素麺]

By @plantbased_matters 
Both recipes at plantbasedmatters.net 

 Vegan Cold Somen Noodles with Dipping Sauce is a typical Japanese homestyle noodle dish to enjoy during summer! We live in Florida, so it's kinda always summer! 

Silky and smooth cold somen noodles are served with kombu dashi based soy sauce dipping sauce made with Vegan Mentsuyu! With the right aromatic & spicy condiments, you wouldn't be able to stop slurping 😋

As long as you have the Vegan Mentsuyu prepared in advance (batch make and store in the fridge), this noodle will be ready on the table in 20 minutes! 

Both recipes, "Vegan Cold Somen Noodles with Dipping Sauce" and "Vegan Mentsuyu (Concentrated Noodle Soup Base)", are available on plantbasedmatters.net
