Dashi

Ingredients for Dashi

• 2 (6x5-inch) pieces dried kombu

• 45g bonito flakes (about 3 packed cups)

Combine kombu and 1925ml water in a large saucepan. Let sit until kombu softens, 25–35 minutes. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately remove from heat; fish out kombu and discard.

Add a splash of water to pot to cool liquid slightly. Add bonito flakes and stir once to submerge them. Return to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently, skimming off any foam, 5 minutes. Let steep off heat, 15 minutes.

Strain dashi through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander into a medium bowl; do not press on solids.

Dashi can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
