Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Clean the kombu gently with a damp cloth, never wash kombu!
  2. Put the kombu and dried shiitake mushrooms in a deep bowl and add 800ml of water.
  3. Leave them to hydrate in the fridge for at least 1hr. For a deeper flavour we recommend leaving them to hydrate overnight.
  4. Squeeze the liquid out from the shiitake mushrooms back in to the bowl so that as much flavour as possible from the mushrooms stay in the water.
  5. Next, carefully transfer the water with the kombu to a saucepan and slowly heat to a gentle boil.
  6. Finally, with the heat turned off, remove the the kombu. The leftover liquid in the saucepan is your dashi.
  7. If your are not using the dashi straight away, store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or portion it out and store in the freezer.

Notes

If you leave the kombu in boiling water for too long, it can make the dashi slimy and bitter-tasting.

The hydrated shiitake mushrooms can be used as a topping for miso soups or other recipes.

The hydrated kombu can be used as a garnish. Simply cut them into thin slices and add them to noodle soups or on top of plain rice.
