Notes
- *1 If you can choose, buy Hidaka kombu. You need about 3x5.5 inch (7.5cm x 14cm)
- *2 Do not wash under running water, as it may wash off umami on the surface.
- *3 Do not throw away the leftover Kombu kelp. Make Tsukudani (Japanese side dish, condiment). The recipe and instruction is in the above post.
- *4 Don't let the dashi broth boil, as it loses the delicate flavour and aroma.
