  • 2 tsp dashi powder (1 packet of Shimaya Dashi Powder)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Gather all the ingredients.
  2. In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups water and 2 tsp dashi powder.
  3. Stir well and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Once boiling, turn off the heat and the dashi is ready to use. Use it immediately.
  5. 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.
