Dashi stock is the fundamental of Japanese cuisine. It's very versatile so you can use this to make so many type of dishes. I know instant Dashi is good & saves a lot of time but homemade dashi tastes even better & very rich in umami ! Plus it's MSG free so if you opt for a healthier option, you can try making it from scratch.
