Equipment

  • Mason jar or another container for the dashi

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet kombu
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Let’s first make the vegan dashi: you’ll need two cups of water and one long piece of kombu seaweed.
    This is enough for around four people, four servings of soup but making less than this will be hard to soak the kombu in.

  • Now soak the seaweed in water for 30 minutes in a jar or a bowl. I use a mason jar for this.
    You can soak them for 12 hours in the fridge for more flavorful results. I definitely recommend doing that.
  • After the dashi has had time to soak, open the jar and remove the kombu from the water and throw them away or use it in another recipe.

  • Now strain your stock by pouring the liquid through a fine strainer and remove any pieces of debris you see floating in it with a spoon now keep this stock in the fridge for no more than three days.
