QING Hondashi Fish Stock, China, 1 kg, for miso soup, udon and nimono. Single 1 kg pack.
QING Hondashi is an instant granulated fish stock for quick dashi. Dashi is a family of Japanese stocks that forms the base of miso soup, clear soups, noodle broths and many simmering liquids, adding the savoury taste known as umami; it is also mixed into the batter for okonomiyaki and takoyaki. Instead of simmering kombu and bonito, dissolve about a teaspoon of granules in hot water for a bowl of miso soup, or add to udon and soba broth, nimono simmered vegetables, chawanmushi, tamagoyaki and rice. Taste before adding salt or soy, since the granules are already seasoned. This 1 kg pack from China suits restaurants. Keep it sealed and very dry, and always use a dry spoon so the granules do not harden.
