Instructions
- Put water and kombu in a pot and let it sit for at least 30 minutes until the kombu softens.
- Heat the pot over very low heat for about 10 minutes (for 2 servings). When small bubbles appear on the surface of the liquid, turn off the heat and remove the kombu. Kombu dashi is ready.
- Sprinkle sake over salmon fillet and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the scales from the salmon and cut the fillet into bite-sized pieces. Cut the potato, carrot, Japanese leek, and cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
- Bring the kombu dashi in the pot to a boil, then add the salmon, carrot, and potato. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes until they become tender, occasionally skimming off any scum.
- Add the leeks, cabbage, and sake to the pot and bring it to a boil for a few minutes. Turn off the heat, then dissolve the miso using a ladle and chopsticks.
- Serve in each bowl and top with butter, if desired.
Notes
- If you already have kombu dashi, start from step 3. In this case, use 2 cups (480ml) of your dashi for 2 servings.
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
