I used store-bought mentsuyu sauce to season the chicken before cooking and was surprised that inexpensive chicken breast becomes tender and delicious. If you use 3x concentrate mentsuyu, you won't need dipping sauce.Slice the chicken breast thinly on the diagonal. I recommend not omitting the ginger. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Usshi

I love hanpen.Hmm...let me think..nope--there's nothing to it! After eating these, if you're going out, you might want to check and see if you have any ao-nori left between your teeth. For 2 servings. Recipe by Kiyohono

I modified a recipe I saw on a TV programme.It's useful to make up a big batch of this sauce and store it. It keeps for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. If you are using 3x concentrated mentsuyu, use 4 tablespoons. You can use this sauce for sweet and sour pork, chilli sauce and simmered dishes. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

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 love my mother's fried chicken recipe and asked her the seasoning but all she uses are mentsuyu and garlic!So I added sake and ginger to make it flavored the way I like.It's an easy recipe using mentsuyu.You'll have almost no dish washing to do as you use a plastic bag.It's convenient for bentos if you freeze them once fried.

I cooked this dish just because the expiration date of the tofu was approaching.There are no tips or helpful hints.The seasoning is only mentsuyu, so it's very easy!It might be good to sprinkle chopped green onions on top if you like. Recipe by Odorubiwacchi

I often prepare this dish for my family, but they don't know how easy this is to make.You only need a small amount of salt and pepper.Make sure to lightly dust the chicken with katakuriko before browning.Since I'm lazy, I don't peel the daikon before grating. It's easier and bulks up the dish.Just be sure to wash it well. Recipe by tama-ma

I made a pork cutlet rice bowl for my lunch box several times in the past, but the rice got soggy and unappetizing. So I created this recipe that cuts down on the water.Perhaps this is more like an omelet with slabs of pork cutlet. Recipe by Shijimi24

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 the kazunoko that my mother made for me every year for our new year's osechi meal.If you soak the kazunoko for too long, it will become bitter and the eggs will become pale; do not soak for longer than 10 hours.If using 3x concentrate mentsuyu, use 100 ml. Recipe by LeoRyu

This recipe brings out the delicious taste of fried vegetables.I wondered if mentsuyu would work for this.If using cherry tomatoes, remove the stem in Step 2 and do not cut in half!The taste of mentsuyu varies among brands, so adjust the flavor after adding the grated daikon.Other ingredients also work well in this recipe, like shishito, green peppers, red bell peppers, chicken, or minced chicken patties.Serve this with chilled noodles!

I used to soak it overnight in mentsuyu and cook it in the morning for bento, lunch box, but I made it this time as a main dish for dinner. It goes well with rice.It turns out perfectly with mentsuyu. Recipe by Kyoku
