  • 30 g Dried baby sardines head and intestines removed
  • 1 L Water

Instructions
 

  • Remove the head and intestines of the dried sardines.
  • Boil the dried sardines in a hot water for 10 minutes. Then strain the fish.
  • If you're particularly sensitive to the fishy smell, you can soak the dried sardines in water first. Leave the dried fish to soak 6 hours before making niboshi dashi.Toasting the dried sardines before extracting the dashi is also a great idea as it will bring out the aroma even more.
