These dashi sachets offer a short cut to rich flavours of Japanese cuisine, without having to make your own and without fish, that would typically be used in dashi.
Dashi Broth
Dashi is a fundamental component of Japanese cooking, serving as the foundation of many traditional dishes. It is revered for its umami-rich flavor, which adds depth and complexity to soups, broths, sauces, and various other culinary creations.
Vegetarian Alternative
While traditional dashi is typically made from kombu (dried kelp) and dried bonito flakes (katsuobushi), these teabags offer a vegetarian-friendly option by utilizing a blend of eight vegetables sourced from Aomori prefecture in the north of Japan. This ensures a rich and flavorful broth without the need for animal-based ingredients.
No Additives
Some powdered dashi products contain flavour enhancing additives, these vegetarian Dashi sachets contain only natural ingredients such as powdered onion, cabbage, carrot, daikon radish, leek, garlic and celery to give it an incredible depth of flavour.
Umami
These sachets impart a robust vegetable flavour with a pleasant umami taste. The blend of vegetables with soy sauce powder creates a harmonious balance of savoury notes, adding depth and complexity to broths and stews.
How to Use: To prepare the dashi, simply brew one sachet in hot water for 5 minutes or in cold water for 3 hours to extract the full flavour. Once brewed, the dashi can be used in a variety of dishes, including soups, clear broths, sauces, and even as a cooking liquid for vegetables, rice or pasta.
