Put some bonito flakes (about 1/2 of a mini-pack as shown in the photo) in a mug and add 120 ml of water. Microwave for around 2 minute at 600 W until it's lightly steaming. Put the dashi stock you made into a small pan, straining it through a tea strainer to remove the bonito flakes. Add the ** ingredients (sugar, soy sauce, mirin) to the pan, and when it comes to a boil add the chopped up chives and simmer for around 2 minutes over medium heat.
