Ingredients List
Important Notes
Since bonito flakes absorb some of the liquid, the water amount is set slightly higher (400ml) when making dashi from scratch to ensure the final volume is consistent. ⚠️
The secret to making great dashi is to extract the umami slowly over low heat, ensuring the kombu does not reach a rolling boil. 💡
