Ingredients
Method
Place all the ingredients in a stockpot, bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover the pan with plastic film. Leave to infuse for 1 hour.
Pour the contents of the stockpot into a clean container, cover and leave in the fudge for 24 hours to infuse.
Next day, strain the nage and discard the solids before use or further storage.
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
