I recreated my mom's shabu-shabu recipe! This is my family's favorite shabu-shabu dipping sauce.You can use lots of ground sesame, as much as you want! Soak the kombu ahead of time in the listed quantity of water. Recipe by DearMIHO

Sometime for snacking or meal time I like to eat some steamed tofu or dumpling. And I like to enjoy it with spicy dipping sauce. So here is my favorite dipping sauce that I often made. It’s very easy yet delicious.

I've been making this sauce since I was a child, since I was always assigned the task. It's that easy.When you add the water, you may want to put a little in first to dissolve the miso, then add the rest. For 1 serving. Recipe by zakkiiM

I was bored with regular somen noodles, but store-bought mentsuyu is expensive and I only had a little of it, so I tried making this dipping sauce.The mentsuyu, ra-yu, sesame seed, ginger and green onion amounts are an approximate. Adjust the amount to your liking. Try with salted sliced cucumber, tomatoes, myoga ginger, shiso leaves, etc. to make a hearty noodles dish! This dipping sauce can be used with rice or udon noodles too. Recipe by Nekoyanagi shouten

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 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.

I modified a recipe for mentsuyu that my mother taught me.Step 1: Adjust the sugar to suit your tastes. If you don't have time, you don't need to let the ingredients sit in the fridge for a day.If you dry-fry/parch the simmered bonito flakes, they will become "furikake" (rice seasoning).. You can also use this as soumen sauce. (Thin it out a little bit more for soumen than you would for soba.) Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

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

I eat udon with hot soup even in the summer to avoid lowering my body temperature. It's my favorite way.I recommend dried thin udon noodles. The key point is to wash and shock the noodles in cold water after boiling. The soup should be hot.You could add other vegetables such as shimeji mushrooms, and mitsuba. Serve with lots of toppings and wedges of lemon. Recipe by Wanko mama

I still dream of the kamo-seiro soba noodles I had previously. I tried this easy recipe at home instead.Adjust the taste as soy sauce differs in saltiness by brand.When in season, serve with yuzu peel to enhance the aroma. Recipe by Koutarochan

Getting some things off my fridge, like this. Great with gyoza or homemade spring rolls or eggrolls. You may want to add a tbsp or 2 of water for gyoza dipping.

Not really much back story here. Just my favorite gyoza dipping sauce.
