Since last year, I've been measuring out well-received recipes that I used to make without measuring.
I'm recording them here for myself and for my friends.

If using store-bought men-tsuyu, refer to the dilutions mentioned in Steps 4 and 5. Otherwise, the taste will be different. Be sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess water from the vegetables before combining with the sesame sauce.
I recommend combining the vegetables and sauce right before serving. Recipe by *ai*
