Why I Love This Recipe
Somen are thin, round, white noodles made from wheat flour and is similar to vermicelli. Strands of somen are generally found dried and often packaged in band tied bundles. It's often served cold but is also added to soups. But for tonight, I decided it would compliment my beef & broccoli stir fry wonderfully... and it did!
