Dashi Stock (Konbudashi)
Dashi is the basic stock used in most all Japanese cooking. Dashi stock is the base for miso soup. This recipe is for a Konbudashi, which is made with konbu (dried kelp/seaweed) and bonito flakes (a dried fish which has been shaved into flakes.) There are many variations of dashi, but this is probably the most common.

This salad is fast and easy to prepare but does not hold well and is best if eaten immediately!
Crunchy Ramen Coleslaw
This crunchy coleslaw is a great side dish or salad. I like to use spicy ramen noodles for a more zesty flavor! This recipe is even better the next day.
