Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Sardines 7
  • Green onions 2
  • Ginger 10g

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy sauce 100cc
  • [A] Sake 30cc
  • Salt (1.3% of sardine weight)
  • Sugar 2g
  • Salt 2/3 tsp
  • Kombu dashi 1 tsp
  • Sake 50cc
  • MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 3 shakes

Steps

  1. Remove the heads of 7 sardines, open their bellies, and remove the internal organs.
  2. Lightly remove the scales from the sardines and thoroughly wash away any blood.
  3. Cut off the tails and cut the sardines into pieces about half their size.
  4. Generously sprinkle the prepared sardines with salt (1.3% of sardine weight) and sugar 2g, then let sit for 10 minutes.
  5. Once excess moisture has been released, rinse the sardines.
  6. Cut 2 green onions into large chunks.
  7. Julienne ginger 10g.
  8. In a pot, add soy sauce 100cc, sardine heads and internal organs, and sake 30cc.
  9. Simmer for about 15 minutes without a lid to extract the sardine's umami. [Chef's Tip!] Simmering without a lid allows the fishy odor to escape with the steam, resulting in a clean flavor.
  10. Once simmered, strain through a sieve to complete the liver soy sauce.
  11. In a frying pan, add water 600cc, julienned ginger, chunked green onions, and prepped sardines.
  12. Add salt 2/3 tsp, kombu dashi 1 tsp, and sake 50cc, then bring to a boil.
  13. Once boiling, simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  14. Heat frozen udon noodles in their bag in the microwave for 4 minutes.
  15. Place the heated udon in a bowl and mix with 1 egg white until half-cooked.
  16. Add MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 3 shakes and 1 egg yolk, then drizzle with the prepared liver soy sauce 2 tsp and mix. Kamatama Udon is ready.
  17. Taste and add more liver soy sauce if needed.
  18. Mix 1 egg white into warm rice until half-cooked.
  19. Add MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 3 shakes and 1 egg yolk, then drizzle with the prepared liver soy sauce 2 tsp (or a little less than 1 tsp) and mix. Tamago Kake Gohan (TKG) is ready.
  20. Taste and add more liver soy sauce if needed.
