スー is a term that refers to a type of broth used in Japanese cuisine, particularly in dishes like ラーメン (ramen) and うどん (udon). It is typically made by simmering ingredients such as meat, fish, vegetables, and seasonings to create a flavorful liquid. The broth serves as the base for many traditional Japanese soups and noodle dishes. In addition to its culinary use, スー can also refer to the act of simmering or cooking ingredients slowly to extract their flavors. This technique is essential in Japanese cooking, as it enhances the taste and aroma of the final dish, making it more enjoyable for those who consume it.
