I came up with a way to make Japanese soup stock easily!This is a basic dashi broth that you can use in a variety of dishes. Recipe by Kodomoto Tsukuru Uchigohan

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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
