Introduction
This cold somen noodle dish features a perfect harmony of sweet and savory stir-fried pork belly and a refreshing grated daikon radish sauce. Topped with a soft-boiled egg and green onions, this is a satisfying recipe perfect for hot days.
Step 1
Peel and grate the daikon radish. Drain lightly in a sieve (too much moisture will dilute the flavor).
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together the mentsuyu, water, drained grated daikon, and vinegar. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt (1 tsp), and gently add the eggs taken from the refrigerator. Boil for 7.5 minutes. Once done, immediately place in ice water for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Trim the roots off the green onion and finely chop it.
Step 5
Cut the thinly sliced pork belly into bite-sized pieces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 After boiling the eggs, chill them immediately in ice water. This helps the shells peel off cleanly. Always use ice water, not just cold water.
💡 The key is to drain the excess moisture from the grated daikon using a sieve. If too much moisture remains, the sauce will become diluted.
⚠️ Adding the seasoning when the pork is about 80% cooked allows the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly.
