Ingredients
4 Servings
- 10 g dried konbu
- 1000 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Wipe the dried konbu with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Do not remove the white powdery substance as it contains umami.

After soaking, slowly heat the pot over medium heat. Just before the water starts to boil, remove the konbu from the pot.
