Ấdd thế dấshi stock or wấtếr ấ tấblếspoon ất ấ timế until thế sấucế thins to your dếsirếd consistếncy. I found thất I prếfếrrếd it ấ littlế thinnếr so thất it coấts thế noodlếs morế ếvếnly. Thất’s it! Ấdjust to tấstế if nếếdếd -- ấ tấd morế mirin ấnd sugấr cấn corrếct for bittếrnếss if you find thế sếsấmế pấstế is ấ bit hấrsh, ấnd ấ littlế morế soy sấucế will ấdd sấltinếss, ếspếciấlly if you opt for wấtếr instếấd of dấshi to thin. Whến you’rế donế, sếrvế with cold udon noodlếs, grếến onions, ấnd nori, ấnd ếnjoy!
Notếs
I usuấlly think of nori ấs ấn optionấl gấrnish, but I wấs surprisếd by how it ấddếd just thế right sấlty touch hếrế -- so I think if you cấn usế it, do.
If you'rế thinning
thế sấucế with ấ dấshi stock thất hấs kombu, though, it'll ấdd thế sấmế sếấ-brếếzế sấvorinếss thất I likếd so much in thế nori.
Spếấking of dấshi, you cấn mấkế your own
(sếế Nấmi's ấmấzing tutoriấls for ấwấsế dấshi ấnd kombu dấshi) or you cấn buy dấshi powdếr from ấ Jấpấnếsế supếrmấrkết. Ếithếr onế will work -- ấnd if ấll you hấvế is wấtếr, thất's just finế too.
Sobấ buckwhếất noodlếs would bế ấmấzing ấs ấ glutến-frếế (or just plấin tấsty) ấltếrnấtivế for
dipping, sincế thếy'rế ấlso dếlicious cold.
If
you don't hấvế mirin or sấkế on hấnd, ấ bit of sếấsonếd ricế vinếgấr will work ấs ấ good substitutế, though you mấy nếếd to ấdjust for
swếếtnếss with ấ littlế morế sugấr.
Finấlly, if you hấvế ấ surplus
of sếsấmế sếếds ấnd don't fếếl likế buying sếsấmế pấstế spếcificấlly for this, you cấn ếấsily mấkế your own sếsấmế pấstế -- just toấst thế sếếds briếfly until
brownếd ấnd frấgrấnt, thến whiz in ấ food procếssor, ấdding ấ fếw tếấspoons of
