Dashi Recipe
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 :)

Does it taste different than the dashi powder?


Not THAT different... a little better but most times the instant stuff will work.


Thanks grifter1 for your basic Japanese Dashi recipe. It is always nice to have the real thing.
