Abura Zomen (Stir-fried Somen Noodle) Recipe

Abura Zomen

Abura Zomen (油そうめん) is Somen noodles stir-fried with meat and vegetables.  It is a Japanese southern island regional food, but there are no hard-to-get ingredients or difficult steps in the recipe.  This easy-to-make but tasty noodle dish will appeal to a lot of people from the young to the old.

Abura Zomen is originally from the southern Amami islands of Kagoshima, Kyushu.  The name means “Oil Somen noodle,” but it’s not greasy at all.  It uses a not insignificant amount of water, or Dashi stock if you prefer, in the process of making fried noodles, so it may really be more braising than stir-frying.  The water and oil emulsify along the way, and it becomes like a thin sauce for the noodles.

Stir Fry Vegetables Recipe

Yasai Itame (Stir Fry Vegetables) Recipe

Stir Fry Vegetables, called Yasai Itame in Japanese, is a common home cooking dish.  Nobody really use recipes to make Yasai Itame.  You just look in the refrigerator and search for what vegetables to use up.  Yes, Yasai Itame is left-over vegetable mishmash or hodgepodge food (a lot of the time anyway).

There is a different type of Yasai Itame in Japan, which is served at Chinese restaurants.  There are more Chinese seasonings like oyster sauce and other flavorings in it.  That is very good too, but it is a bit more elaborate than what we eat everyday.  Here we’d like to recreate a very typical home cooking version.
