I learned this recipe from my mother.When my mother makes this, she makes sure to evaporate the alcohol and lets the broth rest before use, but I'm pretty lazy and cut corners (haha).Commercial mentsuyu is pretty concentrated, but I prefer a lighter version -- that's why I came up with this recipe.Pay attention to the heat and the time while making this.It's common sense but, use high quality bonito and kombu for a better flavor.If you use high quality ingredients and carefully make this, you'll be able to produce a delicious concentrated sauce that'll blow the cheap commercial variety right out of the water! For standard, simple ratios. Recipe by *ai*

I don't like the mentsuyu noodle dipping sauce sold in store. Though lots of Japanese dishes use sauces with dashi, others don't, so to keep things simple, I came up with something in between.You just need to mix these ingredients in this order. I realized that you could enjoy the flavor of soy sauce more if you don't boil it, so I decided to remove the pan from the heat before adding it. Recipe by chibi-pan

This is a recipe that my soba-loving parents came up with after many experiments.Don't let it boil for too long or the flavor and fragrance of the bonito flakes will dissipate. Just let it come to a boil briefly.Store the mentsuyu in containers that have been sterilized in boiling water, and seal air tight. It will keep in a cool dark place for a month. For 1000 ml.

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

Mentsuyu is convenient and delicious. I used to use storebought mentsuyu, but I wanted to make my own so I looked up recipes online. After several experiment with more or less mirin, sugar and so on, I think that this version is just like the storebought one I used to use.It's a bother to have to strain the liquid, so I put the bonito flakes in a large tea bag. Dry roast the used konbu seaweed and bonito flakes with sesame seeds and turn into furikake (rice seasoning). The mentsuyu sauce will keep for about a month in the refrigerator. For about 400 ml.

Not your usual soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce... this yaki udon has a slightly special twist! (´∀｀) Use any leftover veggies from your fridge. Kamaboko (fish cake) or chikuwa (fish sausage) also go great with this dish!Recipe background:When I was a student, I used to love the yaki udon at a small karaoke place I frequented. I wanted to recreate that flavor at home after the shop closed down, so I came up with this recipe. (´∀｀) The original is gone, but now I can enjoy it at home!

Seasoned easily with mentsuyu! This delicious yaki udon is fragrant with sesame oil.About this recipe:I made yaki udon!

I adapted a recipe that was in a weekly flyer. It's made to keep a long time since it has no water added, and dried shiitake mushrooms are added for a deeper and more complex flavor.There are lots of tasty commercial mentsuyu brands, but homemade is the best.Just make sure not to let it boil. For a quantity that is easy to make. Recipe by Hushsan

This is a recipe I learned from my mother.- Adjust the soy sauce and sugar to taste.- The more bonito flakes you add, the better it tastes.- You can also make this with dashi stock granules.- You could make the dashi stock with granulated kombu based dashi mixed with granulated dashi stock.

Meat lover! Make delicious Oyakodon, Katsudon, and egg dishes using mentsuyu! You can easily make them delicious at home!The origin of this recipeI've been making it this way for a long time.

This is my family's udon noodle broth.Even I, who only ever buys the bare minimum when it comes to ingredients, had what I needed to make the soup broth.The meat and shiitake mushrooms soak up the delicious flavors of the broth.You don't need to measure the ingredients precisely. Adjust the concentration to your liking. You could add aburaage or other ingredients. The ingredients will cook through enough after bringing the saucepan to a boil. It's fine to turn off the heat immediately after bringing it to a boil.I served it with my DIY udon noodles Recipe by Myajima

You can make katsudon for a lunchbox without the rice getting soggy by adjusting the amount of liquid. When you eat katsudon hot at home, it's delicious with plenty of sauce.How this recipe came about:Hot katsudon at home is so tasty, but when you pack it for lunch, the sauce makes the rice mushy and unappetizing.Reducing the liquid solved the problem.You can use the same method for the tempura egg bowl in step 8 for lunchboxes too.
