Ingredients

  • 0.3 teaspoon sugar 
  • cups water 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • sauce pan

Directions

  1. If using katsuo bushi flakes from package, moisten with a few drops of sake or water. Finely chop katsuo bushi, then cook in a dry heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and mostly dry.
  2. Add sake, sugar, and soy sauce and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is dry and glazed. Stir in sesame seeds and spread on a plate to cool.
