Green Tea Somyeon is a traditional Korean thin wheat noodle. Unlike Italian pasta, the noodles are extremely thin (approximately 1–1.3mm in diameter) and cook in just 2–3 minutes. This product is a special Somyeon made with young-leaf green tea powder and spinach powder from Jeju Island, featuring a delicate green tea aroma and a vibrant green color. The ingredient list is simple: wheat flour, salt, green tea powder, and spinach powder. It can be enjoyed in many ways — cold in a chilled noodle style, in a warm broth, or tossed like a salad.

Yes, this product is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. The ingredients consist solely of wheat flour, salt, green tea powder, and spinach powder, with no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever. However, please note that whether the final dish is vegan depends on the sauces or broths used during preparation, so be sure to check any additional ingredients you use when cooking.

This product is not gluten-free. The main ingredient is wheat flour, so it contains gluten. Under EU food labelling regulations (Regulation 1169/2011), gluten (derived from wheat) is listed as a major allergen present in this product. Those with a wheat or gluten allergy or intolerance (e.g. coeliac disease) should avoid consuming this product. The product also contains spinach powder, and the presence of sulphites is currently being confirmed with the manufacturer. If you are sensitive to specific ingredients, we recommend contacting Sempio directly before purchasing.

Cooking is very straightforward. Bring a generous amount of water to a boil, add the Somyeon, and cook for approximately 2–3 minutes. Because Somyeon is much thinner than regular pasta, it cooks very quickly. Be careful not to overcook, as the noodles will become soft and lose their texture. Once cooked, immediately rinse under cold water (or ice water) to stop the cooking process and preserve a springy, chewy bite. When serving cold, they pair well with a soy-based dipping sauce; when serving warm, a light vegetable broth is an excellent match.
