Ingredients
  

  • 1 piece dried kombu HERE to buy
  • 1 cup katsuobushi HERE to buy
  • 3 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Gather all the ingredients.
  • Cut a couple of slits in the kombu, which will help release more flavor.

  • Just before the dashi starts boiling gently, remove the kombu from the pot.
  • Add the katsuobushi and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare to strain your dashi by placing a paper towel over a fine-mesh sieve in a bowl, then pour the dashi from the pot into the bowl.
