Dashi Stock (Konbudashi) Recipe

Ingredients

1 ounce dashi kombu (dried kelp)

1 quart water

½ cup bonito flakes

Soup, Stew and Chili

Directions

Step 1

Wipe away any dirt from the kombu with a paper towel being careful not to rub off the white powdery deposits on the seaweed. Place the kombu and water in a saucepan and allow it to soak for 30 minutes to become soft.

Step 2

Remove the kombu from the water and cut several lengthwise slits into the leaf. Return the kombu to the water and bring it to a boil. As soon as the water begins to boil remove the kombu to prevent the stock from becoming bitter.

Step 3

Stir the bonito flakes into the kombu-flavored water bring back to a boil and take the pan off the heat. Allow the water to cool. When the bonito flakes have settled to the bottom strain the dashi through a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
