Probiere heute mal eine eigene Dashi Brühe anzusetzen. Dazu habe ich Kombu Alge in ein großes Einmachglas mit Wasser gegeben. In einigen Rezepten fand ich auch den Hinweis, man könnte etwas getrocknete Skitake noch dazugeben. Auch das hab ich getan. Heute Abend stelle ich sie in Kühlschrank und morgen werde ich sie dann mal abgießen und probieren. #selberkochenmachtspass #asiatischekuche #kombu #dashi

Last Sunday I made the Superior Stock from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.

The hardest part was acquiring and using pig’s trotters. Getting them fresh and pre-sliced at Super H Mart would have made that much easier.
