    learned to make soba sauce (not exactly rocket science) instead of buying the bottle of concentrated one. plus everything was on sale :-)

    • that food looks great.
      and nice mouse mat!      uan
    • Yum.mort_
    • Nice workcanoe
    • full recipe please and thank youKrassy
    • Oh god, are those natto beans??Akagiyama
    • natto beans are tough unless you're born eating them... ickcanoe
    • yep, natto! love it. natto, yamaimo, okra, green onion. I think I've only had a few times when it was nauseating probably on the verge of expiringSquiddy
    • @krassy the sauce is basically:
      - 1/2 cup soy sauce
      - 1/2 cup dashi
      - 1 tbsp sake
      - generous shake of bonito flakes
      Combine in a small pot and simmer for 3-5min      Squiddy
    • let it cool and store it in a jar. when you wanna use it dilute 1 part concentrate + 2–3 parts cold waterSquiddy
    • ^ there are other ways and some people add mirin or sugar. (I don't like it when it is sweet).Squiddy
    • Usually the next day I'll make it: boil the okra. while that is happening, grate the yamaimo. and cut the green onions.Squiddy
    • when youre satisfied with the tenderness of the okra dump it in cold water. and put the pot back, bring the water to boiling and add the noodlesSquiddy
    • while noodles are cooking, slice up the okra. (in the grating container or a bowl) on top of the yamaimo, add green onion natto and okra.Squiddy
    • i forgot, figure out how much broth you want. and figure out the concentrated sauce to acheive that. pour that amount into a jar or bowl.Squiddy
    • instead of dumping all the noodle water, add that to the concentrate. then add regular water. so concentrate + (noodle water + regular water).Squiddy
    • in a strainer dump the noodles and rinse so the water is somewhat clear. then put it in the bowl you'll eat from.Squiddy
    • then pour the sauce on to that. I tend to pour enough to cover the noodles. (so you probably need to test your concentrate so it is not too watery or too salty)Squiddy
    • an now you can pour the natto, yamaimo etc on top of the noodes/sauce. basically it will slide out of the other bowlSquiddy
    • hope that makes sense. hope it works out for youSquiddy
    • oh yeah, for better info, google for "mentsuyu" (the sauce) and "nebaneba" (this style of foods)Squiddy
    • @Squiddy thank you for taking the time to share all this! I'd love to try and make it!Krassy
