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

This is our family's method of making bonito and kombu dashi stock.If you'd like to save your stock for another day, you can freeze it in an ice cube tray. The bonito flakes may settle to the bottom, so strain them when transferring before use. Some say that the best temperature for making kombu dashi is 60°C, so I used that method here. Recipe by Hakuundou.

Proper dashi stock is very good for you and is packed with lots of minerals. Have dashi every day to nourish your body with the goodness of the sea!Don't throw away the kombu! Cook in soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar in a 3:2:1:1 ratio over a very low flame until there's no moisture left in the pan, to make kombu tsukidani (salty cooked kombu). For 3 cups - 600 ml. Recipe by Kokoacchi

Since it was a waste to throw out the leftovers...If you don't have mirin, substitute with a tablespoon sake and a tablespoon sugar.While it's best to eat it up as soon as possible, it should last about 2 weeks in the refrigerator since it's seasoned quite well.For the recipe on making dashi, see.

I thought of a way to efficiently use up the 100 g pack of bonito flakes I use all the time.Make sure not to simmer the konbu seaweed or bonito flakes longer than necessary. If you want clear dashi, I recommend straining through paper towels. This will make strong dashi, so if you prefer, dilute with 400 ml of water. Recipe by Gagarin

My mother used to make dashi stock with niboshi. I used a blend of niboshi, bonito flakes and kombu for my dashi stock. I sometimes add dried shiitake mushrooms.When I'm in a hurry, I skip the step of soaking the ingredients. Scoop the scum off the surface frequently. This dashi stock is convenient and can be used for simmered dishes, soup or mentsuyu. Recipe by Hakuundou

This is a recipe that was handed down to me by my mother.It's also delicious if you make it with just bonito flakes.You can make tsukudani (rice topping) with the konbu. It's also delicious chopped and stir fried in sesame oil (flavor it with soy sauce, sake, and mirin)After using bonito flakes to make a second pressing of dashi, I make furikake. I dry roast the bonito flakes and then add sake, soy sauce, mirin and sesame seeds.For Step 2, heat over medium heat and slowly bring to a simmer.For Step 3, set a pot or bowl underneath.If you squeeze the bonito flakes too much, the dashi will turn bitter, so be careful.When you want to make a strong dashi, add extra bonito flakes.If making dashi with bonito flakes only, increase the amount of bonito flakes.

My family loves using shiro dashi with everything.I had a lot of eggs, I made this nice oyakodon.It has a great feeling of being at home.Use shiro dashi for the dashi.Not "white" soy sauce, "white" dashi! Don't make a mistake!If you let it simmer too long, it will be too heavy tasting, so be careful. You can add some extra water if you need to. Recipe by hime*Rinn
