Preparation

Directions
Step 1
Put the kombu and water into a pot and heat over medium. Just before it starts boiling, quickly remove the kombu. (If brought to a boil, the kombu will become slimy and release some residue into the water, so be sure to remove it before it boils).

Step 2
Allow the kombu water to come to a boil, then add all the katsuobushi at once and gently push it down with cooking chopsticks (or a wooden spoon) to submerge it. Heat over minimum for 2 minutes. Carefully remove any scum that might build up.
