Somen and chilled Chinese noodles that are easy to eat even if you don't have an appetite in hot weather. Sometimes I want to eat at the office at noon, but I felt that it would be difficult to buy a bento, so I bought it at a convenience store.

But, in fact, if you keep the knack, you can bring it deliciously from home! This time, I would like to introduce four points of "Cold Noodle Bento" that is easy and saves money.

1. Boil time and how to pack noodles

It tends to be hard to boil, saying, "Boiled noodles may grow over time," but the boiled time is OK as indicated. By tightening it with water and draining it thoroughly, it becomes difficult for the noodles to absorb extra water.



When stuffing the noodles are not entangled with the pack from the wound human neck minute with a fork.


In the case of chilled Chinese, it will be difficult to stick if you use a small amount of sesame oil after draining the water. Do not put the ingredients directly on the noodles, but put them in another container or wrap them in a wrap.

2. Cool the "sauce" anyway

To eat chilled noodles deliciously, it is important to keep the sauce chilled. If you pack it in a large-capacity sauce bottle that you can buy at Hundred yen stores or supermarkets, freeze it as it is, and bring it with you, it can be used as a substitute for an ice pack (although it is easy to melt ...).



In addition, the soup jar with a heat retention function is also useful for keeping the sauce cold. You can bring it colder by adding a little ice together or by freezing the sauce itself in an ice maker.

3. Use an ice pack to carry

Of course, take the noodles with a sufficient ice pack in consideration of hygiene. If you are considering bringing it to outdoor leisure, it is safe to put it in a cool bag.


If you are worried about the condensation of the ice pack, you can get a cute ice pack with a cover at 100%.


Avoid raw ingredients as much as possible, and let the cooked ones cool before putting them in. Don't forget not only the condiments but also proteins such as meat and eggs so that you can be active in the afternoon.

4. Sprinkle the sauce on the noodles

When eating, if you apply the sauce directly to the noodles instead of the tsukemen style, the whole will loosen and it will be easier to eat.





After practicing the above points, I was able to eat deliciously at the office! Of course, it's not fresh, but it's the same quality as buying at a convenience store or supermarket.

Boiled noodles in the morning are more delicious, but if you prepare the ingredients and soup in the evening, it will save you time. How about as a lunch box menu unique to summer?
