What does DASHI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A clear Japanese cooking stock, traditionally made from kelp and dried, flaked bonito fish.
Dashi forms the savoury base for many Japanese dishes, including miso soup, simmered vegetables, and noodle broths, giving them a light but deeply savoury flavour often described as umami. It is usually made quickly by steeping kombu kelp and shaved bonito flakes in hot water and straining the liquid, though vegetarian versions rely on kelp or dried mushrooms alone. Because dashi is so central to Japanese cooking, ready-made granules and concentrates are widely sold for home use.
How DASHI is used
Mainly uncountable, used as the name of the stock itself, as in a pot of dashi.
- The chef simmered kombu to make a fresh batch of dashi.
- Miso soup gets much of its flavour from good dashi.
- She dissolved instant dashi granules into hot water.
- The recipe called for dashi rather than plain chicken stock.
