Resep Kake Udon

Kake Udon

Makes 4 servings
1 batch udon noodles (recipe above, or enough store bought noodles for 4 servings)
1 cup water
2 cups soy sauce
1 1/2 cups mirin
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1.8 ounces katsuobushi (dried fish flakes)
6 3/4 cups dashi
finely sliced scallions, to taste
shichimi togarashi or chili powder, to taste (optional)
1. In a large pot, combine the water, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.  Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, and add the katsuobushi.  When the mixture comes to a boil again, turn off the heat and let the mixture stand for 2 minutes.  Then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, or a sieve lined with a double layer of cheesecloth, and discard the katsuobushi.
2. Separate the udon noodles into 4 separate deep bowls.
3.  Add the dashi to the mixture in the pot and heat over high heat.  When the mixture comes to a boil, turn the heat off and pour it over the udon noodles.  Sprinkle with scallions and shichimi togarashi, to taste and serve.
