Notes
Mizkan (Bonito Flavored) Soup Base is a magical condiment that you can use to make a variety of authentic Japanese dishes: cold soba dipping sauce, the broth for noodles such as udon and soba. There is no need to make dashi from scratch when you use Mizkan (Bonito Flavored) Soup Base.
You can use the toppings in this recipe or switch it up with shrimp, green peas, spinach—whatever you like.
