Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Mirin
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Usukuchi soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp Sugar

  • 1400 ml Dashi stock
  • 3 tbsp Usukuchi soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Mirin
  • 5 hanks Udon
  • 1 dash Chopped Japanese leeks
  • 1 Kamaboko
  • 1 Shichimi spice

Method

  • Boil the aburaage in plenty of water to render out the oil.
  • Once the water comes to a boil, cover with a lid and boil for 30-40 minutes.
  • Once boiled, strain on a strainer and let cool.
  • Once cooled, squeeze out the water.
  • Squeeze between the palms of your hands taking care not to tear it.
  • If you don't wring the water out well enough, the flavor will become diluted.
  • Simmer with the seasoning ingredients.
  • Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid to simmer.
  • When the liquid has reduced to 1/3, turn off the heat.
  • Transfer the skins together with the seasonings to a heatproof container, then let rest for at least one hour.
  • If you can, let it sit overnight to really let the seasonings seep in.
  • Place on top of the boiled udon noodles and pour in the udon soup.
