Smoked bacon and kombu dashi

Dashi is a broth made from kombu (seaweed) and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and is a basic ingredient in Japanese cuisine just like stock is in Western cuisine. It contains a huge amount of umami flavour and can easily be combined with Western dishes. In this variant, we use smoked bacon and kombu to give the dashi a Western character.
