| Cook Time: 20 minutes Mentsuyu (noodle sauce) is a very versatile sauce that gives many dishes a great Japanese flavor. This is perfect for dipping cold Soba or Somen noodles, tempura and more. It is so easy to make and keeps well in the refrigerator (at least a couple weeks, stays for a month in my fridge), and comes in handy in a crunch time for dinner. I actually make a lot of it at once so that I don’t have to make it frequently (oh, lazy me). You can cook meat and vegetables with this sauce as seasoning, like a quick teriyaki sauce, or just drizzle over steamed vegetables or tofu. You could buy noodle sauce or tempura sauce in a bottle at many supermarkets in the US, but this is easy enough to make at home and has no MSG or other chemicals in it. This is a condensed form of sauce, so dilute with water before using. One part this sauce and two parts water is good as dipping sauce, but adjust to whatever strength you like. Ingredients | |
