Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 1 ounce dashi kombu (dried kelp) 1 quart water ½ cup bonito flakes Directions Wipe off any dirt from kombu with a paper towel, being careful not to rub off the white powdery deposits on the seaweed. Soak kombu in water in a saucepan for 30 minutes to soften. Transfer kombu to a cutting board; cut several slits, lengthwise, into the leaf. Return kombu to water in the saucepan; bring to a boil. As soon as water begins to boil, remove kombu to prevent stock from becoming bitter. Stir bonito flakes into kombu-flavored water; bring back to a boil, then remove pan from heat. Allow dashi to cool. When bonito flakes settle on bottom, strain dashi through a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter. I Made It Print 29 home cooks made it!
