The ingredients for tempura include: squid, shrimp, octopus, horse mackerel, carrots, onions, Japanese leek, sweet potatoes, maitake mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, fresh shiitake mushrooms, shishito peppers, lotus root, shiso leaves, taranome (a mountain vegetable), fukintou (butterbur sprouts), kabocha squash, eggplant, burdock roots.Tentsuyu sauce is a light sauce made with simmered mirin, kaeshi soy sauce and dashi stock. Ten-don sauce uses the above plus a little sugar to sweeten it. Tempura batter doesn't have to be smooth! In fact, it's better if its texture is a bit rough! To make dashi, use 3 cups (600 ml) water + 1 heaping teaspoon of dashi stock granules. Adjust the flavors to taste. For an easy-to-make amount. Recipe by Kokoacchi

I wanted some tentsuyu, but it was just my husband and myself, so I thought I'd just mix together some ingredients to make our own!Add grated daikon radish or ginger if you like. For 1 serving. Recipe by Harapekomomochan

Pepper, salt and soy sauce are also delicious, but for tempura, you just gotta have tentsuyu!I happened to be out of usukuchi light soy sauce, so the picture actually shows it made with dark soy sauce. The real thing should be a bit lighter. Recipe by Tochijimatochiko

Tentsuyu is the traditional Japanese dipping sauce that accompanies any kind of tempura. With only 4 ingredients: dashi, sugar, soy sauce, and mirin, this tempura dipping sauce can be put together in a matter of minutes. You can premake tentsuyu ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for whenever you serve tempura.Since I have gluten allergy, I’m showing you how to make a gluten-free tempura dipping sauce. However, if you don’t have gluten allergy, just use regular soy sauce instead of gluten-free soy sauce. The ratio stays the same.Instruction video: https://youtu.be/rXIiPgge6FE

One of my favorite ten-don restaurants closed. In my quest for a similar ten-don sauce, I tried a lot of different varieties and this is to my liking.Reduce the sauce until you have almost half the original amount. This will make a thick, sweet sauce. You won't need all of it, so drizzle some over rice and store the rest. Recipe by Shijimi24.

Kinda a Japanese mother sauce. It's a tempura dip, sure, but you find this as the base sauce for dressings, marinades, you name it.

I made delicious tempura, so I wanted to also make my own tentsuyu!The glass will be hot when you remove it from the microwave, so be careful.Bringing the sauce to a boil will really bring out the mirin!! Recipe by Mochihada musume

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.

Fried bean curd cooked in a sweet-savory sauce on rice (called kitsune-don) is delicious and I love it, but I thought that in the summer months when appetites are lagging something spicy like this would be better. My husband really liked it so I decided to upload it here!You can freeze aburaage (fried flat tofu), so it's useful to keep stocked. I make the sauce with dashi stock so it's not that spicy. It's also good on top of udon noodles. Recipe by pappatyan

Ever since I had a delicious sauced katsu-don at a highway stop restaurant when I was visiting my parents, I've been going to the same restaurant every time I go home, so I tried re-creating it. (Although it doesn't really live up to the original...)It is easier to eat if you alternate the fatty sides of the pork roast slices as you layer them, so that the fat does not end up in one lump. The number of slices will depend on the thickness, so adjust accordingly. I used 3 pieces for my husband and 2 for myself. Layered sliced pork is more tender and easier to eat. You can also sandwich sliced cheese for a change. Of course, you can use store bought tonkatsu if you like! For 2 servings. Recipe by Suirin

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

I wanted to make unique noodles for hot days.I made the soup strong to go well with the dipping noodles.Make sure to chill the soup, noodles, and ingredients. Recipe by Otometeo
