Basic japanese broth, base for so many different dishes. Much simpler to just buy instant dashi granules, but thought I would include the actual recipe :)
Ingredients:
1 quart cold water
1 oz giant kelp
1 oz dried bonito shavings/flakes
Directions:
1. Wipe kelp clean with a kitchen towel, make a few slashes in it with a knife
2. Add kelp to water and heat, uncovered, over high heat for 10 minutes. Do not let boil, if water starts to boil, add 1/4 cup cold water
3. Remove kelp after 10 minutes, bring stock to full boil
4. Add 1/4 cup cold water and add bonito flakes
5. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat and allow bonito flakes to settle on bottom (30 seconds - 1 minute)
6. Skim off any foam, strain through cheesecloth to remove bonito
