Magical Japanese stock : Mentsuyu
It is a little bit far to go to Japanese supermarket to just get Mentsuyu. These ingredients are accessible to get at Asian supermarket. Easy yet very flavorful! You can use this stock to lots of Japanese cuisine!
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Place kombu and dried shiitake mushroom into a bowl. Pour warm water over it. Leave minimum 30 mins to get all soaked and bigger.
* Step 2
Once kombu and dried shiitake mushroom has soaked, start boiling mirin/ rice wine in the pot. Cook with low heat until the line started to appear.
* Step 3
Put whole kombu, shiitake with dashi (in the bowl), soy sauce and bonito flakes. Medium heat. Cook until started to bubble.
* Step 4
Put down to low heat and cook for 5 mins.
* Step 5
Turn off the heat and leave it for a night.
* Step 6
Strain all the liquid into the bottle. I use empty beer bottle.
* Step 7
Enjoy! I have some recipes that I used this Mentsuyu.
* Step 8
Me turn on the right top. Leftover scraps can use for other dishes. I make umami frikake with bonito flakes. Mushroom can be used in lots of Asian dishes. Total flavor bomb. I cook rice with this kombu. Gives rice deepen flavor.
