The soy sauce and mirin amounts are in the "Warm Tofu" recipe....2/3 cup soy sauce and 3/4 cup mirin.

Soy and mirin were added to the dashi to make the sauce for the Warm Tofu.

During your broadcast, soy was also used in this recipe. Was this omitted? A good quality organic shoyu sauce could be used but the amount needs to be determined for your viewers.
