Are there alternatives to the fish placed into the Dashi? I mean, would Kombu Dashi work, or are there any other ingredients that can substitute for the Bonito Flakes and Niboshi?

~Thanks for the help.

@Mizuir0yuki If you are vegetarian, try kombu and dried shiitake mushroom. It's good too.

[davidtj91]

what's bonito flakes?

[jaakizamazin]

@davidtj91 Dry fish that's shaved into flakes.

Great, like your videos, thanks a lot!

[ezjapanesecooking]

@loui0008 You are welcome! Thanks!

[HypnoticCyclone]

Whats better to prepare Miso soup with? Powdered Dashi, or kelp? I dont understand.

[ezjapanesecooking]

@HypnoticCyclone Powdered dashi has MSG.  It's kind of cheating. Authentic traditional way is from natural dashi, high-end and keep it real.

[WeCanWorkItOut48]

@ezjapanesecooking Thanks! I once read MSG can make dirt taste good. Keep it real is right! and healthy! Thanks for the vegetarian option. I was wondering how many dried shitaki to use?

[keenho]

hey, is there anything that can replace the bonito flakes ? they r very expensive here in msia.

[ezjapanesecooking]

@keenho Can't really replace bonito flake's unique flavor with anything else. You can just use powdered dashi mix if you want. It's cheaper and works well although they contain MSG.

[junals03]

how much budget will i spend?



[ezjapanesecooking]

@junals03 I don't know, but maybe cheaper than in restaurant.

[arenaskiez]

Where can I buy these ingredients? I can't find them at major supermarkets.

[ezjapanesecooking]

@arenaskiez Check out shop.mitsuwa.com/eng/eindex.ph­p for Japanese ingredients. Search on that site with keywords, dashi, niboshi, kelp, dried bonito, Using powdered dashi stock is also very popular in Japan too. I use sometimes as well.

[kgsaigon1]

Will you please do a video on a rolled egg omlette! Great videos!

[ezjapanesecooking]

@kgsaigon1 Thanks! But, sorry, I don't make dashi maki tamago. You need a square shaped pan for it, I think. I only introduce what I actually make all the time. Search for 出し巻き玉子 on youtube for it. You'll find many!

[wauktowngirl]

[ezjapanesecooking]

@wauktowngirl We use dried bonito fish fillet to make soup stock.  .amazon.com/Japanese-Bonito-Fl­akes-3-52-Ounces/dp/B000UWE0AO

0:24 are you trying to make them makeout?!

[ezjapanesecooking]

@animelover1979 Just a kiss.  lol.

[Qjemuse]

thanks! the vids easy to follow too

how long is it good to keep btw?

[ezjapanesecooking]

@Qjemuse If you want to keep dashi in the fridge, just put kelp and dried anchovies to water and let the dashi juice come out of them slowly rather than using heat. Add the bonito flake when you put it on stove top and boiled. If you keep the dashi stock frozen, it should be good for a year. Don't forget to cover the surface of the dashi stock with plastic wrap before put the lid in order to keep stinky freezer or refridgerator air to contact directly. Should last 3-4 days in refridgerator.

so i had some ramen the other day,and half the bowl was nori. i noticed you used quite a bit. is it supposed to taste like seaweed,or have some other flavor?mine tasted like seaweed.

[ezjapanesecooking]

@jmwintenn Nori, Kombu (Kelp) and Wakame are different kinds of seaweed. Only Kombu (kelp) is used for making soup stock. Kombu (kelp) doesn't really give strong flavor, but rather gives basic tastiness. Bonito flake gives flavor. I personally use this dashi to make ramen too. It's shio (salt broth) ramen. Just add some salt to the broth, I also add garlic oil and black or white pepper, and ramen noodle (frozen fresh ones). Tastes really good. Great for udon too and so easy. All natural
