Cooking Directions

  1. Wipe kombu with a damp cloth to clean it. Cut into 1-inch pieces and place in a saucepan with water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for a few minutes. Strain through a mesh strainer before using.

Tips

Dashi should be pale gold in color and smell like the sea. Keep dashi covered and refrigerated when not in use. Dashi will keep for up to 14 days. The stock will smell sour when it has gone bad.

Dashi can also be made cold by soaking the konbu in water for 1 to 2 hours.
