Japanese people love dashi. Also love soy sauce.Ohitashi is a dish in which cooked vegetables are soaked in a sauce made of dashi and soy sauce.

Ohitashi can be made with a variety of vegetables. For example, spinach.
And there are many ways to cook ohitashi. Nibitashi is a dish of boiled vegetables, and yaki-bitashi is a dish of grilled vegetables. This is a recipe for yaki-bitashi.

In Finland, I make it with Japanese eggplants and green peppers, which are available from spring to autumn. And mentsuyu is home-made.
