Notes — The mentsuyu recipe is in the basics category. In this recipe you concentrate the mix 3x. Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the tofu. If you use extra-hard tofu you wont need to squeeze as much. Serve these with tamogoyaki in a bento box or just eat them straight. (unknown kcal/recipe)
