  Kombu Dashi

               A japanese veggie broth made with kelp
Kombu Dashi
(Vegetarian ramen soup broth)
Japanese kombu dashi
You will need:
- 1/2 ounce of dried kombu (15 grams)
- 4 cups of water

1. Soak the kombu in water for 2 hours.
2. Put the kombu and water in a cooking pot.
3. Heat it (Medium heat).
4. Turn off the heat when the water comes to a boil.
5. Remove the kombu with a strainer.

The remaining liquid is your kombu Dashi. The removed kombu can be used to cook in other recipes.
Note: You don't want to wash your kombu before soaking it in water, it will lose some of the flavors we want in our Dashi. You can wipe it with a clean cloth.

- Kombu Dashi   (Kelp broth)

The kombu dashi is without a doubt one of the most popular ingredient in the authentic japanese ramen noodle recipes. This is a great vegetarian alternative to the ones using pork bones or dried sardines and it tastes very good. It's ready in less then 2-3 hours and you'll make sure you have a great soup base to work with when making a noodle meal!
