Basic Dashi Stock (Ichiban/First Dashi, Niban/Second Dashi)
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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak the konbu seaweed in water (for the ichiban/first dashi) overnight.
- 2
Heat water and konbu seaweed from Step 1. When it comes to a boil, remove the konbu seaweed. Add extra water plus all the bonito flakes at once and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat as soon as it boils.
- 3
When the bonito flakes sink to the bottom (in 2-3 minutes) either scoop out or strain the dashi through paper towels.
- 4
Put the used konbu seaweed and bonito flakes in water for niban/second dashi and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. If adding adding more bonito flakes for flavor, add 1/2 the amount used for the ichiban dashi.
- 5
Store dashi you'll use right away in a pot (it'll keep for 2-3 days). To store dashi longer (up to 3 weeks) pour into ice trays, or into a plastic ziplock bag and freeze flat.
- 6
Use ichiban-dashi for clear soups and miso soups, and other dishes that call for it. Use niban-dashi for simmered dishes and the like.
- 7
I recommend simmering niban-dashi and konbu seaweed used for making dashi with vegetables in a pressure cooker. The dashi flavor penetrates the vegetables, and the konbu seaweed becomes soft and silky. You can enjoy a lot of vegetables this way.
- 8
Try cooking daikon radish slices (with the sharp edges rounded off) with konbu seaweed, salt, and sugar in a pressure cooker for 10 minutes for a light and mild flavored dish.

Dashi 1 Dashi 1
Dashi is foundational to Japanese cooking. There are numerous variations, but the standard is made by steeping kelp and the fine shavings of a specially processed loin of skipjack tuna. It's common to make dashi in 2 parts. The first, known as ichiban dashi, uses fresh ingredients, and yields a cleaner, more delicate broth. The second dashi is made by re-steeping the ingredients from the first, and adding some fresh katsuobushi. The measurements aren't extremely important, as flavor can vary depending on the specific product used. The point here is to balance the 2 flavoring elements against each other.

Basic Dashi Stock for the First Pressing Basic Dashi Stock for the First Pressing
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.

How To Make a Small Amount of Dashi Stock How To Make a Small Amount of Dashi Stock
The basic way of "making dashi" on TV cooking shows and in cookbooks results in an amount of dashi that can't be used up in one go, so you usually end up storing leftovers in the refrigerator. But you can't store dashi for that long, up to 5 to 7 days max. I often ended up letting it go to waste and relying on dashi stock granules. But with this recipe, you can make just 1 cup of dashi at a time, so there won't be waste. Great!◎ Ideally, you want to use hot water (108°F/98°C) from an electric water kettle. Dashi should not be brought to a boil. ◎ Simmer the kombu and bonito flakes you used to make the dashi in mirin and soy sauce. It's delicious eaten with grated daikon radish. For 1 cup (200 ml) worth. Recipe by Kokoacchi -
