Basic Dashi Stock for the First Pressing
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
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. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Wipe off the konbu seaweed with a dish cloth. Put the water in a pot, add the konbu seaweed and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Turn on the heat and remove the kombu just before the water boils.

Turn off the heat for a moment. Add the bonito flakes and turn on the heat again. Simmer for 1-2 minutes and turn off the heat. Skim the scum off the surface.

When the bonito flakes sink to the bottom of the pot, pour through a fine-mesh strainer lined with paper towels.

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

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 -

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.

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 -

I always make dashi stock for miso soup in the morning. I find it a bother to make dashi stock in advance for some reason, but these can just be thrown into a pan. Dissolve some miso and the miso soup is done. I find this workflow quite natural. I definitely recommend making them yourself rather than buying readymade dashi packs - so much cheaper.I use bonito powder. If you add konbu seaweed too, the dashi will be even more delicious. For 7 bags. Recipe by Mihomiho mama recipes -
