Until fairly recently any person who expressed concern about the destruction of the environment raised skeptical eyebrows. That's a thing of the past now, with everybody being aware of the problems besetting the planet as well as the shared burden we have for turning things around. Unless everyone begins to start living much more green we won't be able to correct the problems of the environment. This should happen soon and living in ways more friendly to the environment should become an objective for every individual family. The cooking area is a good place to start saving energy by going a lot more green.

A massive amount of electricity is definitely consumed by freezers as well as refrigerators, and it's even worse if they are working inefficiently. You can easily save up to 60% on energy once you get a new one, in comparison with those from longer than ten years ago. Keeping the temperature of the fridge at 37F, in conjunction with 0F for the freezer, will probably save on electricity, while keeping food at the correct temperature. Checking that the condenser is definitely clean, which means that the motor needs to run less frequently, will also save electricity.

From the above it ought to be apparent that just in the kitchen, by itself, there are many little opportunities for saving energy and money. Efficient living is definitely something we can all perform, without difficulty. Mostly, all it requires is a little common sense.

The ingredients needed to make Concentrated All-Purpose Mentsuyu:

1. You need 350 ml of Mirin...A.
2. Take 200 ml of Soy Sauce...A.
3. Use 100 ml of Usukuchi soy sauce...A.
4. You need 100 ml of Sake...A.
5. Take 100 grams of Thickly sliced bonito flakes (you can used dried bonito flakes too, but they more or less lose their flavor).
6. Use 2 of pieces about 8 cm Kombu for dashi stock.

Steps to make Concentrated All-Purpose Mentsuyu:

1. Add the "A" ingredients and the kombu to a sauce pot and let sit for about half a day. *If you're in a hurry, cut notches into the kombu and let sit for 3 hours..
2. Heat the mixture from Step 1 on medium heat. Before it begins to boil, remove the kombu from the pot. When it boils, add all of the bonito flakes and lower the heat to low..
3. The listed amount of bonito flakes is not a mistake. This is how much you use. If you double the amount used for normal dashi stock, you should have enough..
4. Boil the liquid from Step 2 about 10 minutes and turn off the heat. *If you let the soy sauce bubble and boil on high heat, it becomes bitter, so it's important to lower the heat to low and simmer..
5. Allow to cool, line a strainer with a paper towel and strain. *As seen in the picture, if you use a strainer with small holes like a tea strainer, you don't need a paper towel..
6. When it has cooled, pour into a glass storage jar that was sterilized in boiling water and it's done. Store in the refrigerator. *It's preservative-free, yet lasts for at least 3 months..
7. For somen noodles, cold udon, or soba, use the ratio Noodle Sauce: Water = 1:2.5~3. If you substitute one part of the water for the water used when hydrating dried shiitake mushrooms, it's ok..
8. For standard udon and soba noodle broth, use the following ratio Noodle Sauce: Water = 1:7.5 ~ 9 + salt as needed. *For one person, 2 pinches of salt in 400 ml of water is good..
9. The 1:9 ratio of sauce in Step 8 should look like this color. *I sometimes use the Kansai-style light soy sauce to make the base..
10. You can dilute it however you want and use it for various noodles...If you can remember your favorite dilution ratio, then you can have the flavor of your favorite restaurant's sauce anytime, right at home..
11. If you find that the flavor of the sauce feels a bit on the weaker side after you've diluted it with water, this is probably due to the fact that the dashi wasn't made probably..
12. Before adding the seasoning, please add [Bonito soup granules] and [flavor enhancing umami seasoning]. The flavor will taste very good..
13. Not only can you use this sauce for udon or yakisoba, you can also use it for Japanese-style pasta etc. Use it as a replacement for noodle sauce in recipes. It definitely tastes better than the cheap sauces sold in the markets..
14. I always make an extra amount to preserve. But in the case of an emergency, when I run out, I always buy the brand of sauce shown in the picture..
15. If you add the water from the beginning while diluting it for somen or udon etc., it will only keep for about 3 days and it will change the flavor of the sauce a bit..
16. For example, if you think "I'm only going to use it for today's somen". It's best to dilute the concentrated sauce with dashi broth..
17. I also uploaded"Straight Noodle Sauce made from Soup Granules." It's easy and quick so I recommend it as well..
18. I also uploaded a standard, salty-sweet dish that goes very well with cold Chinese noodles or somen "Maitake Mushrooms Boiled in Sugar Syrup"..
19. There's also a recipe that uses this sauce to make Curry Udon..
20. I also used this sauce in another recipe for Sesame Seed Sauce and uploaded it.. I recommend it with spinach..
21. I uploaded a recipe using this sauce for Seasoned and Mixed Rice..
