Easiest Way to Cooking Eating on a Dime Mentsuyu Noodle Dipping Sauce with Dashi Stock Granules Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Mentsuyu Noodle Dipping Sauce with Dashi Stock Granules. Great recipe for Mentsuyu Noodle Dipping Sauce with Dashi Stock Granules. 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.

Traditional mentsuyu recipes call for real dashi stock made from a base of kombu (seaweed) and dried bonito flakes.

Called 'men tsuyu' in Japanese, this thin, clear sauce is made from dashi soup stock and a mixture of soy sauce, mirin and sugar, which is called 'kaeshi'.

As well as serving men tsuyu alongside piles of cold noodles, this easy stock can also be diluted with hot water for a seasoned soup broth to enjoy with hot noodles.

You can have Mentsuyu Noodle Dipping Sauce with Dashi Stock Granules using 7 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

Ingredients of Mentsuyu Noodle Dipping Sauce with Dashi Stock Granules

  1. It’s 45 of to 60 ml Mirin (or hon-mirin).

  2. You need 15 ml of Sake.

  3. It’s 30 ml of A. Soy sauce (dark or whatever you use regularly).

  4. You need 15 ml of A. Light sauce sauce (If you're from the Kanto area use 45 ml total of soy sauce).

  5. It’s 135 of to 180 ml B. Water.

  6. It’s 1/2 tsp of B. Dashi stock granules.

  7. You need 1 of Umami seasoning.

This mentsuyu is the perfect broth for use in udon and soba noodle soup.

With less dashi, the flavor becomes more robust as the mirin and shoyu ratios are increased.

Mentsuyu is litteraly means noodle soup.

The liquid diluted with water is used for noodle soup.

Mentsuyu Noodle Dipping Sauce with Dashi Stock Granules instructions

  1. Put the mirin and sake in a pan over a high heat. When it comes to a boil, let it boil off for 45 to 60 seconds to evaporate the alcohol. The result is called "nikiri mirin.".

  2. Theres another method for making nikiri mirin, which involves flaming it. This is how pros do it, but it's dangerous so I have just included the boiling method here. If you know how to flame it, do so until the flames die down..

  3. If you use the flaming method the amount of liquid will be less, but the umami will be concentrated so its fine. When the nikiri mirin is done, turn off the heat and mix all the A. and B. ingredients together..

  4. Heat the liquid again while mixing well with a ladle. Just before it comes to a boil, add a little umami seasoning, turn off the heat and its done..

  5. When youre in a hurry, cool it down in the freezer. Enjoy with lots of aromatic vegetables like chopped green onion, shiso leaves, and so on..

  6. Of course its great for cold soba noodles or tentsuyu (dipping sauce for tempura). It will keep for at least 4 days..

  7. Use 100 ml of this mentsuyu, 300 ml of dashi stock and 2 pinches of salt + umami seasoning to make a delicious soup for warm noodles..

  8. If you use dashi stock made with konbu seaweed and bonito flakes instead of water + dashi stock granules, this will be even more delicious. Use twice the amount of bonito flakes youd normally use to make dashi..

  9. This is the mentsuyu sauce I always have stocked in the refrigerator - and authentic version. "Multi purpose concentrated mentsuyu". It keeps for 3 to 4 months..

  10. Its a concentrated type that is made with proper dashi stock. You can use it for all kinds of recipes..

  11. I uploaded a recipe for "Juicy simmered shiitake mushrooms", which is so useful as an accompaniment or topping for hiyashi chuuka (cold Chinese style noodles) or somen noodles..

  12. I uploaded a curry udon recipe using this mentsuyu…

  13. I think 160 to 180 ml of B. water is just right, but since some mentsuyu is quite concentrated, start with 130 ml and add more to taste..

It contains umami taste from dashi stock and good balance of soy sause and sweetness of mirin.

The mentsuyu also can be used as a convenient seasoning because the mixture contais dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sake and s.

As a back-up when I run out of dashi or want to save time, I use store-bought Mentsuyu to prepare Tempura Dipping Sauce.

Made with sake, mirin, soy sauce, kombu, and dried bonito flakes, Mentsuyu is the base sauce used in many Japanese noodle dishes and dipping sauces.

Mentsuyu is typically concentrated and you'll need to add water to dilute it.
