Kombu Dashi stock is fundamental to Japanese cuisine. This stock can be used as a base for numerous Japanese dishes including miso soup, noodle broths and simmering dishes. Dashi is typically made from fish such as dried fish flakes. However, it can be made vegan and vegetarian friendly by using kombu and dried mushrooms. You can keep the dashi in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
