Incredibly Simple Pork and Tofu with Mentsuyu
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I always make rice bowls with meat, but they started to taste even better after I started adding some tofu too.
Feel free to use firm or silken tofu, I personally prefer to use silken.
Sprinkle over some green onions at the end for a bit of colour.
Top off the rice bowl with any sauce left over in the pan at the end.
If the flavour is a bit too thin for you, feel free to add some soy sauce or mirin. Recipe by Ryo---ko

Add the water and mentsuyu to a pan and when boiled also add the ginger, pork and onion.

When the pork begins to change colour, add the tofu. Cover the tofu with the pork, and then cover with a lid. Simmer on a medium heat for 10 minutes.

Once the 10 minutes is up it's ready! If you let it cool once and then warm it up again, it tastes even more amazing!!

Easy Shallow-Fried Tofu with Mentsuyu
Deep-frying tofu is too much work, so I shallow-fried the tofu. I made it because I wanted to recreate a dish I used to have at a Japanese pub.It's a shame that I didn't have 'momiji oroshi' (spicy grated daikon radish) this time.You only need to fry the top and bottom of the tofu pieces at Step 3. You don't have to fry the sides.It's also delicious with 'momiji oroshi' (spicy grated daikon radish).I recommend eating this with cooked soba noodles. They're pretty tasty together. For 2 servings.

Extremely Quick! Pork, Nagaimo Yams, and Okra Stir Fry with Mentsuyu and Mayonnaise
I learned from a cookbook written by an author who looks 20 years younger than her age, that it is okay to eat yam skins, so I thought this up.I made a new discovery for once in a long time!Don't peel the yams! I can't say this enough. The skin seems to have a lot of nutrients, it stops the yams from becoming slimy, they can be eaten raw, so they cook through quickly, and it adds to the flavor of the yams!

Simple with Mentsuyu Noodle Sauce Roast Chicken
I made this for Christmas this year. I was looking through the ingredients in store-bought sauce and realized that mentsuyu could be used to season roasted chicken.If you have the time, marinate for as long as possible, overnight is the best. Let the flavors settle in at least for an hour. However, if you top with the sauce you can get it to work out.Adjust the baking time and brown color accordingly, so it cooks through to the center.

Easy Stir-Fried Udon with Mentsuyu
Not quite soy sauce, not quite Worcestershire sauce... a slightly more refined stir-fried udon (´∀｀) using leftover vegetables from the fridge. Kamaboko or chikuwa also go well with this dish.The origin of this recipe: I used to frequent a small karaoke place as a student, and their stir-fried udon was exactly to my taste. I wanted to recreate it at home (´∀｀). Unfortunately, that karaoke place is no longer around, so the original is no longer available (ＴДＴ).

Ultra Simple Mentsuyu Noodle Sauce with 3 Ingredients
This is a method I saw a long long time ago on TV. However, I didn't want to bother making the dashi from scratch so I adapted the recipe to use dashi stock granules. It's easy and tasty, and can also be kept for a long time.Don't let the sauce boil or simmer for too long, or it may get burned. You can use it right away for cold noodles by adding ice cubes to it, but it tastes much better if you let it rest in the refrigerator for a few days I think, since the soy sauce becomes milder in flavor. Recipe by Sakanako.

No Sake or Mirin Needed! Make Your Own Mentsuyu
I did some research on the internet and made my own version using ingredients at hand.Dried bonito gives the mentsuyu a very refined taste. Dried bonito flakes makes a strong dashi stock.After straining, use the bonito to make stock from a second, third, and fourth batch for other dishes, like oden (fish cake stew), simmered dishes, takikomi gohan (rice cooked with other ingredients), or soup. It's really tasty! Recipe by vegecat
Frozen Daikon Radish and Chicken Wings Simmered In Mentsuyu
It takes time and effort to cook thickly sliced fresh daikon radish, so I used frozen instead.Using mentsuyu makes the flavoring easy too.Since frozen daikon radish soaks up flavors well, it is added later.Adjust the cooking time by watching how the color of the daikon radish changes.[If using fresh daikon radish:]Cut in half and then slice about 1.5 to 2 cm thick. Add it to the pan in Step 6 with the chicken wings. Recipe by KaHal
