  • 1 tablespoon fresh scallion (chopped)

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon nori (julienned)
  • 1 teaspoon julienned pickled ginger

Method

  • Break somen noodles in half prior to cooking.
  • Cook according to directions and strain, but DO NOT rinse in water.
  • Seperate the somen into 2 stacks
  • Heat oil in 10 inch frying pan on medium heat.
  • Place 1 stack of somen in pan, arrange in to a circle and flatten with spatula.
  • Top with bacon, shrimp, basil, scallion, cabbage, and second stack of somen.
  • Pour on egg mixture.
  • Flatten and shape with spatula.
  • Cook until browned on one side, then flip and brown on other side, reshaping as needed.
  • Plate and drizzle with Worcestershire sauce.

  • ***A simple salad of arugula, shredded carrot and cabbage, sliced cucumber, and diced yellow pepper drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette and topped with julienned nori makes a great accompaniment.
