We love this recipe as much for the soy-glazed bonito flakes, with their maddeningly good smoky-savory-sweet flavor, as for making such great use of leftovers.

Ingredients

Leftover katsuo bushi (dried bonito flakes) from making dashi or 1 cup katsuo bushi fresh from package
1 tablespoon sake
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

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. 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.
