Step by step to make Authentic Gourmet Vegan Udon Noodles

1. Soak the Kombu in water for 30 minutes and then cut finely. Kombu Dashi will further deepen from the cut surfaces..
2. Heat the frying pan, and roast the dried soybeans over low heat until golden brown. The sound will change from a dry metallic sound to a kind of muffled sound. When the sound changes back to the original dry metallic sound, they are done..
3. Soak the Kombu and roasted soybeans in water overnight. Rinse the dried Shiitake and place it in water in a separate bowl and soak overnight in the fridge..
4. Use the water to rehydrate the Kombu-soybean and Shiitake which creates dashi. Use 350ml of the Kombu-soybean dashi and add 300ml of the Shiitake Dashi. You will need a total of 650ml of the two dashi so adjust liquid levels as needed..
5. Add the Kanpyo to (4.), and heat with Shiitake, Kombu, and soybeans, and bring to a boil. Boil on high heat for two minutes and remove the scum..
6. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 30 minutes. While cooling, the Dashi will further emerge..
7. Strain the Dashi from (6.). You will need a total of 440ml. Add more water if less than 440ml (The Dashi leftover soybeans, kanpyo & konbu make a delicious side dish, so after straining, set the leftovers aside to use latter)..
8. Remove the Shiitake stems (you will use them later) and slice the Shiitake caps into 5mm strips..
9. Place 300ml of the 420ml Dashi from (7.) into a pot and add the Shiitake caps, with Seasonings "A" (Mirin, soy sauce, and vinegar). Boil for a short while and remove the scum..
10. Simmer on low heat for another ten minutes to reduce to about 180ml, then remove and allow to cool. After ten minutes, take out the boiled Shiitake only. You will use the remaining 180ml of this Dashi later in Step 12..
11. Place the Seasonings "B" in a separate pot. Because the amounts are small, make the Kaeshi by tilting the pan over low heat and mixing well with chopsticks until the sugar melts..
12. Add 180ml of the leftover Dashi from which you removed the simmered Shiitake in (10.), and 140ml of the remaining dashi from (7.) and the Kaeshi Seasoning from (11.)..
13. Chill the soup from (12.). You should have approximately 350ml of Udon soup. As it cools, the taste will mellow, and over time the Umami taste will become deeper..
14. Cut off only the hard part of the Shiitake stems and cut into small pieces to make them easier to eat. Along with the leftover soybean, konbu, and kanpyo mix Seasonings "C" and simmer until only a little Dashi remains..
15. Boil the Udon noodles and eat with the Udon Dashi from (13.). The Udon Dashi can be served chilled, room temperature of hot depending on the season and your preference. Enjoy the boiled Shiitake, the boiled items from (14.), and condiments of your choice such as chopped green scallions, grated ginger, grated Daikon, and Nori..
16. Traditionally, the boiled Udon Noodles and Udon Dashi are served separately. The Udon Noodles are dipped into the Dashi and eaten slurped down. Condiments are usually added to the Dashi in small quantities. Japanese like to add just enough condiments for one mouthful to enjoy various taste combinations for the Udon meal. Of course, you are also welcome to add the Shiitake and/or the Leftover Dashi Ingredients to the Udon Dashi or eaten separately as a side dish..

Cooking Basics for Beginners

When it comes to cooking, it is important to keep in mind that everyone started somewhere. I don't know of a single person who was born with a wooden cooking spoon and all set. There's a great deal of learning that needs to be carried out in order to develop into a prolific cook and then there is definitely room for advancement. Not only do you will need to start with the basics in terms of cooking however you almost should start when understanding how to cook a fresh cuisine such as Chinese, Chinese, Thai, or Indian food.

Which usually means at any particular time on your cooking cycle cycles there is quite probably some one somewhere that's better and/or worse at cooking than you personally. Take advantage of this because even the best have bad days in terms of cooking. There are a lot of people who cook for several reasons. Some cook in order to eat and survive although some cook since they actually enjoy the whole process of cooking. Some cook through the times of emotional upheaval among many others cookout of absolute boredom. No matter your reason for cooking or understanding how to cook you should begin with the basics.

The good news is that once you've learned the fundamentals of cooking it is not likely that you will ever need to relearn them. Which usually means that you may always build up and expand your cooking skills. As you find new recipes and better your culinary abilities and talents you will see that preparing your meals from scratch is a whole lot more rewarding than preparing pre packaged meals which can be purchased from the shelves of your regional supermarkets.

You will also find as your own experience and confidence grows that you will find yourself more and more regularly improvising while you go and adjusting recipes to meet your own personal preferences. If you'd like less or more of ingredients or want to create a recipe a little more or less hot in flavor you can make simple adjustments along the way so as to achieve this objective. Quite simply you will start in time to create snacks of one's very own. And that is something you won't of necessity learn when it has to do with basic cooking skills to beginners but you'd never know if you didn't master those simple cooking skills.
