Instructions

Make the dashi broth:

  1. In a large pot, add a piece of kombu (seaweed).
  2. Cover with 8 C water.
  3. Bring the water up to a simmer. (Don't boil the kombu or it will become slimy). Skim off any foam.
  4. Remove the kombu.
  5. Add in the bonito flakes. Bring it up to a simmer again, for about 30 seconds before turning off the heat.
  6. Let the broth sit for 10 minutes before straining the liquid through a sieve. (You can discard the bonito flakes or make furikake with it).

Flavour the broth:

  1. Add in the soy sauce and mirin, daikon and shiitake mushrooms.
  2. Bring the broth up to a simmer over low heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  3. Add in the fish cakes and let simmer over low heat, until fish cakes are plump and juicy and daikon and mushrooms are cooked.
  4. Garnish with green onions and cilantro (optional).
  5. Serve the fish cakes with the hot dashi broth.
