Dashi (ichiban dashi) Katsuobushi Mirin Udon (nikomiudon, hiyamugi)

Hints Mentsuyu (soup for noodles) Generally, mentsuyu is made from ichban dashi whose main ingredients are kelp and katsuobushi flake. (See Dashi) To enhance the flavor of mentsuyu, allow the katsuobushi flakes to seep for while when making dashi. Mentsuyu is most delicious prepared about a half day ahead. Letting it sit enrichens the flavor. Kakeudon Heat 5 cups of dashi (ichiban dashi) with a Tablespoon each of sugar and mirin, add half a cup of light flavor soy sauce.
