‘Mentsuyu’, Japanese Noodle Dipping Sauce, is a handy sauce to have as it can be used as a seasoning sauce, and it is easy to make. I usually keep a bottle of it in the fridge. However, when it’s run out and I desperately want it for just one serving, I make this Quick & Easy ‘Mentsuyu.’ If you want to make more than 1 serving, see ‘Mentsuyu’ recipe.
