Equipment

  • Medium saucepan

Materials

  • 1 L Water
  • 1 piece Kombu (approximately 15cm x 15cm)
  • 10 g Bonito flakes

Instructions

  • Add your kombu and water to a saucepan on medium low.
  • Slowly bring the mix to a boil but scoop out the kombu before the water boils. If you leave the kombu in, it becomes slimy.
  • Add your bonito flakes to the saucepan and bring it back to a boil and then turn off the heat straight away.
  • Let the mixture sit for 10-20 minutes.
  • Once the bonito flakes all sink to the bottom, strain your mixture using a fine mesh strainer.
