This delicious "tsuyu" sauce will add extra umami flavor to your Japanese cooking and is great for noodles and soups. I always have a giant bottle of it in my fridge, but it can be hard to find if you live abroad. Luckily, I have a simple recipe which means you can make it yourself; it's also easy to adjust for vegetarians and vegans!
