Dashi-stock

Ingredients

500 ml water
10 cm Kombu
15 g Bonito flakes

Preparation

Wipe the Kombu with a damped cloth and make some cuts with a knife in the sheet. Put water and Kombu in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and take out the Kombu. Put the Bonito flakes in the pot without stirring. Bring to a boil again and then take off the stove. If the flakes sink to the ground, the stock is ready. In the end pass through a fine sieve.
