A useful tips
The tomatoes need to be as ripe as possible. Rather than using a knife, break the tomatoes apart with your hands. This prevents too much of the juice from escaping, which is ideal for a tomato sauce. The salt brings out the moisture in the tomato, so taste the tomato directly before serving and adjust as necessary.
Cyprian black salt is high in minerals and the color of charcoal. It is a wonderful addition to the dish, but feel free to use a different type of unrefined salt if you can’t get hold of it.
Another tip is to drizzle olive oil over the somen just before taking them out of the pot in order to prevent them clumping together.
