Empty My Fridge
Unleashing the Power of Dashi Packet
Ingredients
- Kombu1 piece
- Shiitake mushroom · dried2 pieces
Instructions
- Put the kombu and dried shiitake in a large bottle, add the 4 cups of water, cap it and let it soak on the counter for at least 30 minutes (2–3 hours in summer, 4–5 hours in winter is ideal; overnight in the fridge also works).
- Optionally, transfer the cold brew with the kombu and shiitake to a medium pot and heat on medium low until it reaches a bare simmer, about 10 minutes, skimming foam from the surface as it heats.
- Just before it boils, remove the kombu and shiitake and turn off the heat.
- Strain the dashi through a fine-mesh sieve. It is ready to use.
