Dashi is a basic stock used in a variety of Japanese dishes and is the key to that deep umami flavour found in miso soup and ramen. This dashi can be refrigerated for up to a week and frozen for 6 months. Mix 200ml of dashi with 200ml of chicken or pork ramen stock to make a delicious broth that can be flavoured with soy sauce, salt, or miso – look at our shoyu, shio and miso ramen recipes for the full method.
