directions

  • Prepare the Dashi by combining the water and kombu in a 2-3 quart sauce pan over medium-low heat.
  • Allow to come to almost a boil, if the kombu is tender remove it. If it's not tender add a little cold water and cook for a few more minutes. Do not let the mixture boil!
  • Remove the kombu and turn off the heat.
  • Add the bonito flakes to the liquid and let it sit for a minute or two.
  • Strain the stock, pressing the flakes to extract as much liquid as possible. Use immediately or refrigerate and use within 2 days.
  • For the main dish, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the noodles until they are al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • While the noodles are cooking, heat the stock (if using) and add the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Stir to combine.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • When the noodles are done, drain and add to the stock.
  • Garnish with scallions and ginger.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/captain.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/329769/ninja%20bmp.jpg" width=75%> (Zaar World Tour 4) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=cunningcrocodiles.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/cunningcrocodiles.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DSC_0020.jpg"> (Australia/New Zealand Swap #15)
