homemade dashi ~

One of the most commonly used ingredients in Japanese cooking is dashi. It’s honestly quite simple once you learn about the ingredients used and it takes much less time to make compared to other broths. I try to keep dashi handy in the fridge for warming up leftovers or making a quick miso/noodle soup.

ingredients linked on my amazon storefront in bio —
4 cups water
15g kombu — dried seaweed
katsuobushi — dried bonito flakes
5 large dried anchovies, gutted

Soak the kombu in 4 cups of water for at least an hour, or overnight in the fridge is best. Warm the broth and kombu on medium heat, but don’t let it come to a boil or else it’ll become slimy. Remove the kombu from the pot right before it comes to a boil and add the dried anchovies. Let this simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and add a small handful of bonito flakes. Allow this to sit for 10 minutes to extract the flavors, then pass it through a sieve and let it cool before storing in the fridge.
