Vegetable nage (or Japanese vegetable stock)

This very cheap and very easy stock is a great base for many soups and sauces. It makes around 1750ml, which will last for 4 days in the fridge and freezes very well - we freeze it in 250ml and 500ml containers (most recipes on this site that use it use multiples of these amounts), and also in ice cube freezer bags, so we can pop a couple out for recipes like Crab Linguine which just uses a little. Making Nage creates one of the most comforting aromas in the world.

Nage is the term used in the USA for a flavored liquid used for poaching delicate foods, typically seafood. A traditional nage is a broth flavored with white wine, vegetables, and herbs, in which seafood is poached. The liquid is then reduced and thickened with cream and/or butter. - Wikipedia
