Convenient and Easy Dashi Stock Packs

Prepare the bonito powder of your choice and fillable tea bags.

This one is a mix of dried bonito and horse mackerel.

Get your kitchen scale out, and put 20 grams of bonito powder in each tea bag.

Store the filled tea bags in a ziplock bag if possible, and put it in the refrigerator.

Just throw one of these tea bags in 600 ml of water, and miso soup for breakfast is ready in no time.

Bring the water to a boil, lower the heat and simmer gently until the stock smells and looks good.

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of salt, and you have a delicious clear soup.

This is konbu seaweed powder.

I recommend adding 1 teaspoon of this too.

It's easier than adding cut konbu seaweed, and the dashi will be richer.

Or, pour in some boiling water.

Wait a while and the dashi stock is done.

Use what you need; you can store any left over dashi in the refrigerator.
