 Dashi

2 Servings | 30-minute Prep Time | 10-minute Cook Time

Ingredients

4 cups Filtered water
¼ piece of Kombu Seaweed
1 ½ Tbsp Bonito flakes (katsuobushi)
1 tsp Soy sauce
2 tsp Mirin

Instructions

Soak kombu in 4 cups of filtered water in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (overnight is preferred).

Over low heat, bring kombu in water to a simmer (about 10 minutes).  Do not let it boil or the flavor will be too strong. Remove kombu from water and add bonito flakes to water. Bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat and let infuse for 7-10 minutes. Strain bonito flakes from dashi. Season with soy sauce and mirin.
