Marukin Mentsuyu All-Purpose Noodle Sauce & Soup Base

$14.95

Used widely across Japan as a standalone sauce, soup base and dressing for cold noodles, this umami-packed mentsuyu from Marukin needs no diluting. Unlike other similar products on the market, this full-flavored, complex sauce is completely ready to use—without adding any water. A blend of premium soy sauce and dashi broth, each high quality ingredient is sourced from Japan. Balancing both salty and sweet, each bite is smoky and briny without overpowering. With a variety of uses, we like it served alongside both hot or cold noodles, as a dipping sauce or as a broth. It also works well as a dipping sauce for tempura, as a base for other soups, subbed in for dressing, marinade, pickling liquid or splashed in as a flavor enhancer for egg dishes.

HOW TO USE

This sauce does it all: It’s a broth, dip and finisher. No need to dilute it for broth, it’s perfect as is. Drizzle it over rice or noodles, or use as a dipping sauce for tempura and veggies. Mix with vinegar and sugar for quick pickles, add to egg mixtures, use in place of salad dressing, marinate tofu or add to stir-fries. We also love adding it to a mixture of dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar to make simmered meats or veggies. And, of course, it’s excellent as a sauce for cold noodles.
