Give all of your Japanese cooking that quintessential Japanese flavour with this dashi stock. Dashi can be thought of as the Japanese equivalent of chicken stock, in that it provides a savoury, or 'umami' flavour base that intensifies the flavour of the rest of the dish. This classic dashi recipe draws umami flavour from katsuobushi bonito fish flakes and kombu kelp seaweed.

Ingredienser

10g kombu kelp
20g katsuobushi bonito flakes
