I used to use powered dashi broth. But my mother-in-law made this for hot pot and other dishes, so I asked her how to make it.

You must take the konbu seaweed before it comes to a boil. Otherwise it'll become sticky and the umami of konbu seaweed will be lost.
Be careful that it doesn't come to a boil too much after you put the bonito flakes. Recipe by sleep
