Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Cut the kombu sheet into the required size with a kitchen scissor. Wipe the kelp piece clean with a damp folded kitchen paper towel.
  2. Place the kombu square into your pan and top with the water.
  3. Allow the kombu to soak for at least 30 minutes. The longer you keep it to soak, the better, e.g., overnight.
  4. Take the pan to the heat and keep over a medium heat setting, cover. Bring it to a boiling point and take out the kelp sheet. Keep the kombu kelp aside (it can be cut into strips and eaten in a salad or use it as a ramen topping).
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in all the katsuobushi (bonito flakes).
  6. Cover the pan and wait for the katsuobushi to fall to the bottom of the pan.
  7. Place a large fine mash strainer over a bowl and strain your awase dashi. Discard the bonito flakes.
  8. Use your freshly prepared awase dashi to prepare a Japanese miso, noddle soup or a modern Asian-inspired clear soup. The dashi can be frozen or left in the fridge, too, to use at a later time.
