A revolutionary way to use up leftover somen noodles: season them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then pan-fry until the bottom is crisp. Top with onion, ham, and plenty of melting cheese, brown both sides, and you have a fragrant somen pizza. Add ketchup or Tabasco and enjoy it just like real pizza.
Instructions
- Put the leftover somen noodles into a bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil over the somen and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Gently toss everything to loosen the noodles and work in the seasoning.
- Thinly slice the onion.
- Cut 2 slices of ham into thin strips and set them out with the melting cheese to prepare the toppings.
- Spread the oiled somen in an unheated frying pan and shape it into a round with a spatula.
- Turn the heat to medium and cook slowly, pressing lightly, until the bottom is crisp. Do not touch it or move the pan until it has set somewhat.
- Once the bottom has browned, scatter the onion and ham over the whole surface.
- Add as much melting cheese as you like and tidy up the shape.
- When the bottom has set, flip it over and brown the cheese side, watching the heat.
- Once the cheese around the edges is browned, flip it back over and remove it from the pan.
- Cut it like a pizza with a knife and arrange on a plate. Serve with ketchup or Tabasco as you like.
