Cooking tips

If you don't want to make katsuobushi broth from scratch, you can easily substitute it with store-bought Hondashi.
If making tare sauce is too much trouble, you can use store-bought udon sauce or tsuyu instead.
Instead of soft silken tofu, you can use firm pan-frying tofu which is easier to handle.
