Steps

  1. Wash the soil from the root of Komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) 30-40g and roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare bean sprouts 30-40g without chopping.
  3. Mince garlic 10g.
  4. In a frying pan, add sesame oil 1 tbsp and minced garlic 5g, and stir-fry thoroughly until golden brown. Tip: By thoroughly stir-frying the garlic until its aroma is fully released, it becomes delicious without any lingering smell.
  5. Boil water and cook somen 100g for 40 seconds.
  6. Immediately rinse the cooked somen in cold water and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly. Tip: By cooking somen al dente and shocking it with cold water, it won't stick together when stir-fried.
  7. Add the cooked somen to the frying pan and toss with sesame oil.
  8. Add [A] Kore! Uma!! Tsuyu 1 tbsp and 1 tsp, sake 1 tbsp, black pepper to taste, and salt 1 pinch, then stir-fry to combine.
  9. Serve on a plate, garnish with green onions to taste, and drizzle with chili oil to taste, if desired.
  10. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil to taste until hot. Add salt 1 pinch to egg 1 and make scrambled eggs. Remove from heat when still soft-set to avoid overcooking.
  11. In the same frying pan, add sesame oil 1 tbsp, then add bacon 35g, roughly chopped Komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) 30-40g, and bean sprouts 30-40g, and stir-fry.
  12. Add [C] Kore! Uma!! Tsuyu a scant 1 tsp to the vegetables to season, then remove them from the frying pan. Tip: Seasoning the ingredients beforehand creates a unified flavor with the somen.
  13. Add vinegar 2 tsp to a pot of boiling water and cook somen 100g for 1 minute 20 seconds. Tip: Adding vinegar when boiling inexpensive somen strengthens its texture and prevents it from becoming bland.
  14. Rinse the cooked somen under running cold water and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly.
  15. Add the cooked somen to the same frying pan and coat with the cooking oil.
  16. Add the previously stir-fried egg and vegetables, mixing and breaking them up.
  17. Add [B] Kore! Uma!! Tsuyu 1 tbsp and 1 tsp and black pepper to taste, then stir-fry to combine everything.
  18. Taste and add an additional [D] Kore! Uma!! Tsuyu 1/2 tsp, if desired, and mix well.
  19. Serve on a plate, sprinkle with chili oil to taste and black pepper to taste, if desired. For a flavor change, lemon juice to taste is also delicious.
