Notes
- If using dried shiitake mushrooms, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before cooking to rehydrate. Reserve soaking liquid and use it as part of the 8 cups liquid.
- For richer stock, roast mushrooms at 400°F for 15 minutes before simmering.
- Add a splash of soy sauce or miso paste if desired.
- Store your dashi in an airtight container.
- It can be frozen.
