- 2 eggs
- 4 crab sticks
- 1/2 cucumber
Directions
- Boil somen noodles 1 to 2 minutes.

- Mix the eggs slightly to break the yolks, make and fry a thin omelet and slice them, ham, and cucumber into thin strips, rip the crab sticks by hand.
- Put somen on a plate and spread the strips for topping. Pour mentsuyu over the dish before serving.
