In a large bowl, bring water and Kombu. Soak for an hour. (For thicker taste, soak overnight instead)
|
|
|
|
Cook the kombu-water over medium heat for about 5 minutes or right until the Kombu-water starts boiling. Set aside for a couple of hours. Remove Kombu from water and discard it.
|
|
|
|
Boil the Kombu-water and then add all Bonito flakes to it. Boil the Kombu-water again over low heat for about 1 minute.
|
|
|
|
Turn off heat and let the Kombu-water sit undisturbed for about an hour or until the Bonito flakes come down and stay at bottom. (For thicker taste, soak overnight instead)
|
|
|
|
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the Kombu-water into a medium pot. Discard the Bonito flakes after firmly pressing them on strainer.
|
|
|
|
Cool the Kombu-water down, Use it right away or later. Usable up to 3~4 days if refrigerated.
