As well as containing lots of really great vitamins and minerals, seaweed has strong umami properties - the 5th element of taste which sort of describes 'savoury deliciousness'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic way of using kombu is to soak it in cold water for about 4-5 hours at room temperature and then bring everything up to the boil, removing the kombu just before it boils.  You would then add Bonito Flakes and leave for a further 30 minutes before straining through kitchen paper - see my recipes for Kombu Dashi Braised Shin of Beef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, you can just slip a piece kombu into a traditional stew, in much the same way you would use a bay leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr try this in our Easy Chicken and Mushroom Ramen recipe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllergens: None\u003cbr\u003eMay contain \u003cstrong\u003eMolluscs\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFish \u0026amp; Crustaceans\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients: Dried Kombu Seaweed 100%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Welpac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54513239327033,"sku":"oqm1789957997203","price":3.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7184\/2873\/files\/dashi-kombu-seaweed-4oz_1.jpg?v=1789958002","url":"https:\/\/petfirstaidkit.shop\/products\/dashi-kombu-seaweed-4oz","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
