Using dashi powder is the easiest and quickest way to make Japanese soup stock or add dashi flavor to a dish. Simply sprinkle the dashi powder over the food while cooking or add it to water to make instant dashi soup stock.

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups water and 2 tsp dashi powder.
Stir well and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, turn off the heat and the dashi is ready to use. Use it immediately.
Tip 1: Note that dashi made with dashi powder contains salt, unlike homemade dashi. I typically avoid dashi powder in my recipes unless specified. Adjust salt, soy sauce, or miso accordingly if you're mindful of your salt intake.Tip 2: I don‘t recommend storing dashi in the refrigerator or freezer.
