Dashi, a simple, easy-to-make stock, is indispensable in Japanese cooking. This is awase dashi, the most common version, which is made from kombu (dried kelp) and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes).

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the water and kombu. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, over medium heat. Remove the kombu and discard. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the bonito flakes and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Let the dashi sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Discard the bonito flakes. Use now or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
