Put ① in a pot, warm at low heat until just starting to boil.
The umami (Deep richness) of the kombu is actively developed around at 60℃ (140F),
so go slow to pass through this temperature range to maximize the goodness.

[About the rice]
60-70% of the whole dish is actually rice. So pay attention to the rice is important.
Use descent Japanese rice. Soak minimum 1 hour (Maximum over night) with water and kombu (1% of the weight of the rice) after rice is washed.
This will bring up the whole thing lot better.

-About KOMBU (Dried kelp)-
“KOMBU” is one of the mother ingredient of true authentic Japanese cuisine.
It’s usually soaked, or boiled in water to make its stock called “Kombu dashi” (Dashi means stock in Japanese) And Kombu dashi is typically used in cooking soup dishes including miso soup.
However, sadly many people and restaurants doesn’t use this beautiful ingredient, and use MSG instead. The reason for that is basically people are just so used to it. Most people doesn’t know how to use kombu, and doesn’t know the goodness of it.
Japanese companies invent good stuff, but nothing beats the one from the nature.
Obviously better for your body too.
In this channel, I want to proudly introduce about kombu to the world as a Japanese chef, and try to create many ways of using it at home. So we can learn together!!
Kombu is available in Supermarkets in some country.
But if it’s not, check Japanese or Asian grocery, or online!!
