Okonomiyaki Flour is a Japanese flour that contains wheat flour and dried, ground Yamaimo powder in it as an added starch for additional binding power, and flavour. Some brands contain katsuo (powdered bonito) as well. It is used to make Okonomiyaki.
Kombu, the leathery seaweed that is used to make dashi stock, is packed full of umami. A traditional way to prepare it is as shiokombu (salty kombu) or kombu no tsukudani. Tsukudani is a method of cooking something with soy sauce, sake and/or mirin, and sugar until itâs very dark, quite salty and sweet too.
