FAQ
Being a wheat noodle, ramen noodles contain magnesium, calcium, selenium, folate and small traces of B-vitamins. Somen noodles are made from the same ingredients as ramen noodles; however, they are much thinner, similar to vermicelli noodles.
Sōmen (素麺,そうめん) are white Japanese noodles made of wheat flour and they are very thin, about 1 mm in diameter.
Soba noodles are a light brown color and have a nutty flavor, as compared with somen which are a pale white and mild in flavor. Soba noodles are a bit thicker than somen. And, because soba noodles have little or no gluten, they can't be stretched, so they're made by cutting.
Somen is the thinnest of all Japanese noodles. They are almost like vermicelli, and are quick to cook. They are made from a hard organic wheat that gives a different texture and bite. Somen is often served cold in Japan.
(Their diameter ranges from a mere 1.3 mm down to an ultra-refined 0.3 mm.) They are noodles with a delicate taste yet are satisfyingly chewy; noodles that can fill you up but not feel heavy.
