Japanese Hoshi-Shiitake Dashi Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put water and hoshi-shiitake in a pan and soak for 10 minutes. Heat the water and turn off the heat when the water comes to a boil. Let stand for 20 minutes and strain the broth. The shiitake can be used for other dishes.
  • Note: Dashi is Japanese soup stock, which becomes the base of many Japanese dishes, such as soup and nimono (simmered dishes). Since dashi is often used in Japanese cooking, it's useful to know how to make it. There are different kinds of dashi. It can be made from konbu (dried kelp), katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes), niboshi (dried small sardines), or hoshi-shiitake (dried shiitake mushrooms). Konbu dashi and mushroom dashi are known as good vegetarian stocks. Japanese dashi is best used on the day it was made.
