Homemade Dashi Stock (合わせだし) Dashi stock is the fundamental of Japanese cuisine. It's very versatile so you can use this to make so many type of dishes. I know instant Dashi is good & saves a lot of time but homemade dashi tastes even better & very rich in umami !

To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have homemade dashi stock (合わせだし) using 3 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook it.

This recipe is for a Konbudashi, which is made with konbu (dried kelp/seaweed) and bonito flakes (a dried fish which has been shaved into flakes.) There are many variations of dashi, but this is probably the most common. Dashi (だし, 出汁) is Japanese soup stock that builds the bases for many of your favorite Japanese dishes like miso soup, chawanmushi, ramen, and shabu shabu. It is the essence of authentic Japanese flavor, and it tells the dishes apart if other substitutions are being used in place of the soup stock. Dashi is a Japanese soup stock and essential ingredient in Japanese cooking.

Instructions to make Homemade Dashi Stock (合わせだし):
  1. Clean the konbu strip with paper towel. Do not wash konbu with water !
  2. Soak the konbu in the water for a half up to a few hours. You can also soak it overnight if you have time.
  3. In a medium heat, bring it to a boil
  4. Just when the water starts to boil, discard the konbu.
  5. Never boil the water with konbu in it because high heat will make the konbu tastes bitter.
  6. Bring the water to boil again, and add katsuobushi
  7. Simmer the dashi for a few minutes, turn off the heat and let it cool down for 10 minutes.
  8. With paper towel and strainer, pour the dashi into a bowl.
  9. Squeeze out the extra dashi from the bonito flakes.
  10. Voila! Your dashi is done and you are ready to make delicious Japanese dishes with it.

In particular, this Awase Dashi which is combination of Katsuobushi(bonito flakes) and Kombu(kelp) is most common dashi and used in various dishes. It takes a bit work to make dashi from scratch but it worth it with the luxurious aroma and umami that you can't get with a dashi powder. Naturally, the Japanese dashi stock pack is much better than the dashi seasoning. If the key feature of the dish is the dashi flavour such as osuimono (お吸い物, clear soup), I make dashi from scratch. Also, the dashi seasoning contains salt already so you have to take that into account when adding salty seasonings in a recipe such as soy sauce.
