I remade a recipe that my mother taught me.Step 2: Line the colander with a paper towel when you strain the broth.You can use this to serve udon noodles, chilled tofu, boiled greens, stews etc.Adjust the amount of mirin to suit your tastes.Step 3: You can also make this by adding the konbu to the mirin and soy sauce and keeping the mixture in the fridge for 1/2-1 day. After you remove the konbu, you can add it to the bonito flakes. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Not much back story here. I use this sauce on dishes like my "Fusion Kamatama Udon".

My mother learned this recipe ages ago from a TV program, and passed it down by word of mouth. Every since I've been making it regularly. You can buy dashi soy sauce, but it's hard to figure out how concentrated they are, plus they often have preservatives, so I no longer buy the market brands.The key is to let it rest overnight before straining it. If you strain it too early, the umami of the bonito flakes won't transferred to the soy sauce. It's a waste to throw away the strained off bonito flakes, so eat the remains as a rice accompaniment or tsukudani (simmered in soy sauce). I did make tsukudani but I forgot to take a photo.

Because storebought mentsuyu doesn't have a strong umami flavor, I made this homemade mentsuyu using mackerel flakes. They are used for a very strong umami flavor to make soba dipping sauce.The mentsuyu noodle dipping sauce you get at soba restaurants uses mackerel flakes; that's why it's so tasty. These flakes give out so much umami flavor.If using this as mentsuyu, make sure to dilute as follows:Pouring sauce - 1 part all-purpose soy sauce : 4 - 5 parts waterDipping sauce - 1 part all-purpose soy sauce : 2 - 3 parts water.

I learned this from a friend who is a great cook, and have been using it every since. I modified the amounts so that it's easy to make.If you store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it will keep for a long time, so there's no need to worry about a best-by date.Combine with sugar and reduce to make a sweet-savory sauce. Add vinegar to make a dipping sauce for gyoza dumplings. Dilute with water, add a little mirin and salt and bring to a boil to make a noodle soup for udon or soba. You can use it generously in simmered dishes as well. Recipe by Kinakorin

I love tuna and mayonnaise, and thought it might be tasty with pasta too.Mix the pasta rapidly as soon as you add to the frying pan, and turn off the heat immediately. If you let it cook too long, the pasta will get dry, harden, and may stick to the pan. If it does stick, drizzle a little more olive oil and toss. For 1 serving. Recipe by Nanaiku

I usually have"Multi purpose mentsuyu concentrate" in stock, but I decided to upload this version too since many people only have dashi stock granules on hand.It is a bit different from the usual recipes, but I experimented many, many times in order to make a tasty mentsuyu sauce even using dashi stock granules.Even if it's a bother, it makes a big difference to the flavor, so please don't skip the "boiling off the mirin" part in Step 1.If you let soy sauce come to a full boil it loses flavor, so please pay attention in step 4.This is a tasty mentsuyu sauce even if it's not an emergency.When you use dashi stock granules, the flavor does tend to be a bit harsh, so I increased the amount of mirin. Please use more or less mirin to taste.I gave a wider range for the water amount, to account for the tastes of people used to the strong concentrated flavor of store-bought mentsuyu concentrate.

This is a killer recipe, which makes my husband (dislike of tofu) eat tofu, and even request for another. Grated daikon radish is the key to make this dish more fascinating.

Ginger is in season. I love ginger, so I like to have agedashi tofu with lots of flavorful ginger and daikon radish added. Ginger is good for your blood pressure and speeds up your metabolism.Add the ginger and grated daikon radish at the end of cooking; do not boil them. I make the sauce very thick, but if you would like it thinner, use 1 teaspoon of katakuriko dissolved in an equal amount of water. Recipe by pappatyan

Since daikon radish has a gentle taste when cooked, I simmered it in white dashi with fried tofu, as I thought they would go well together.Cook until the daikon radish becomes very tender ♪Adjust the seasoning to taste. Recipe by voyage

I became a cooking tester for Hondashi brand dashi granules, so I created this healthy cocotte.If you are using a steamer, steam for 10 minutes over a low heat after the steam has started to rise.Put the ingredients into a generously-sized container.The flavoring is on the sweet side, so please reduce the sugar to your taste.If you want the sauce to be quite thick, make it with 1 tablespoon of starch flour and 1 tablespoon of water. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Mokobu- mama

I came up with a healthy tofu recipe.It tastes mild and comforting.An sauce is a clear sauce thickened with starch. A fairly thick and gelatinous an sauce coats the tofu better and is delicious.Put the eggs in after the water has started to boil to make sure they will be soft and fluffy.It's also good with umeboshi plum.
