6-minute dashi without kombu, but with tomatoes
For quick and easy dashi without kombu, you can use something you'll probably have in the pantry right now...tomatoes! And it's much faster than kombu dashi.
Slice the tomatoes in 4 so they have lots of exposed surfaces to give off their flavor.
Bring water to a boil, then add the bonito flakes and sliced tomatoes.
Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Strain the liquid with a fine strainer and use this dashi in your dishes.
