Ingredients

  • 1000 ml water.

  • 10 grams dried kelp.

  • 40 grams bonito flakes.


Directions

  • Lightly wipe the surface of the kelp with a tightly wrung cloth.

  • Put water and kelp in a pot.

  • Heat on low heat, and when small bubbles come out from the bottom of the pot (about 7 minutes), remove the kelp.

  • When the kelp soup stock boils, add bonito flakes and simmer on low heat for 1 minute.

  • Set a colander on a bowl, spread a paper towel on it, and strain the soup stock.

Preservation Method

Transfer the stock to a food storage container and store in the fridge. It can be used for 2-3 days.

Tips

  • The white powder on the surface of dried kelp is "umami", so do not remove it.
