This bonitofish soup stock is used for soup base for miso soup, hot pot, and soup noodles. Dashi is the most important flavor of Japanese food and it's used in many different dishes, and you can use this instant version or make it from scratch with katsuobushi. To make dashi using this product, simply add to boiling water and stir (1 tsp Hon Dashi to 1 cup water). As a variation, use the liquid in which dried shiitake mushrooms have been soaked. Sometimes translated as broth, dashi is actually much more. Its not only an essential ingredient for literally thousands of Japanese dishes, its also a deliciously creative way to add irresistible flavor to foods while reducing sugar and salt content. Have you ever had the feeling that some flavor is missing, but you dont know what it is, or what to add? Try adding a little Hondashi. We offer the best quality Ajinomoto brand. Picture is 2.29 oz jar but now we offer a box containing three sachets, 1.76 oz each sachet.

Customer Rating: Summary: The Missing Ingredient Comment: This really is the missing ingredient to all of your attempts at making traditional japanese food! It may seem odd that fish is used as a "spice", but it really almost is just that. I tried making steamed japanese vegetable with mirin & soy sauce figuring that Mirin was the missing ingredient. But it wasn't until I read on one of the packages that hon dashi is required, that I discovered the true missing ingredient! I bought fresh miso to make miso soup, and it too didn't taste right. Added a spoon of hon dashi and suddenly I had real Miso Soup! (actually i found out later you can buy fresh miso for miso soup with the dashi already added) Hon dashi is great for soup stock for udon or soba too. Buy some and add a little to whatever doesn't taste quite japanese enough.
