"The secret to simmered dishes is to always let them cool."
This is the basis for all simmered dishes. The flavor really comes out when the ingredients are cooling.
Shred the kelp stock
Pound the umeboshi with a knife to make a paste
Put the kelp and seasonings marked * into a frying pan, heat, and simmer
Once the sauce has reduced, remove from the heat and place the frying pan on a damp cloth to cool slightly (this will bring out the remaining umami in the kelp and allow it to absorb even more flavor)
Return [4] to the heat and add the plum paste and mix. If you have roasted sesame seeds, add them now and mix again. (The sesame seeds will absorb the moisture.)
Once all the sauce has evaporated, serve in a bowl and it's done
