My girl's favorite dish at the Japanese restaurants is udon. Whether it is Nabeyaki Udon, Tempura Udon, or the udon that my mom cooks for her :)
I used to cook udon the Chinese style for her - ikan billies as the broth, with spinach and fish or fishballs. But I still prefer the Japanese style udon. Interestingly, Nabeyaki Udon has been my favorite since I first tasted Japanese food. My girl has the same taste bud as me? :D
Found the instruction on how to make Kombu Dashi on JustOneCookbook previously, but I could not find dried kombu in any of the supermarkets I went to. Finally, I found dried kombu at a Supermarket in town. I also found dried bonito at the same place. I was very excited :) Last night, I followed Nami's method - I soaked 10g of kombu (Nami stated 20g) in 1000ml of water and left it in the fridge overnight. This morning, I took out the kombu from the water. The broth looks very light in color, quite unlike the darker color seen in Nami's blog. Maybe it's because I put in only 10g. After heating up the broth, I added 6g of dried bonito. After filtering (with a piece of soup pouch & strainer), the broth for my Nabeyaki Udon is ready! :)
I forgot to buy mirin :p so no mirin was added to the soup. I don't think my recipe is good enough for sharing, but here are the ingredients I used:
