‘Mentsuyu’, the noodle dipping sauce, is a very versatile seasoning sauce. It contains Soy Sauce, Mirin and Umami from Dashi Ingredients. I use ‘Katsuobushi’ (Dried Bonito Flakes), but you can use other Dried Fish, Kombu (Kelp), Dried Shiitake or Instant Dashi Powder. It is very handy to keep a bottle of ‘Mentsuyu’ in fridge. I cooked this stir fry for my daughter’s lunch on the other day and she loved it.
