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

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 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 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

I've always made it this way.No hints at all! It's pretty easy. Recipe by Silvy1978

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 always make rice bowls with meat, but they started to taste even better after I started adding some tofu too.Feel free to use firm or silken tofu, I personally prefer to use silken.Sprinkle over some green onions at the end for a bit of colour.Top off the rice bowl with any sauce left over in the pan at the end.If the flavour is a bit too thin for you, feel free to add some soy sauce or mirin.

I wanted to eat yummy katsudon.It's so easy, there are no tips. For 4 servings. Recipe by Yokkonkon

I used the carrots and firm tofu I had in the refrigerator, simply flavored with the mentsuyu sauce I also had on hand.An easy to eat salad that's just flavored with mentsuyu sauce. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Kyoku

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 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.
