Making dashi can be a bit tricky. In formal restaurants, water is slowly simmered with kombu kelp, then bonito flakes are added and gently strained to make a clear broth. That process is too time-consuming for everyday home cooking.
Tea bag- style dashi packs are an easy way to make dashi at home. Just simmer one in water for a couple of minutes.
Choose packs made from natural ingredients and without added salt. But if yours does contain salt, just remember to reduce other salty seasonings when you cook.
