Mentsuyu is a Japanese soup base. It is used both as a cool dipping soup and as a warm soup. It is quite simple to make and tasty. It can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a couple of days. My favorite use for mentsuyu is as a dipping soup for cold soba noodles.
You can play around with the ratios of dashi to soy to mirin to find the flavour that you like best. I have also seen sake and/or sugar added.
Mentsuyu used for warm soup it usually more diluted and would use 1 cup of dashi.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dashi
2 tablespoons soy
2 tablespoons mirin
Directions:
1. Heat everything in a pan until it comes to a boil and remove from heat.
