- 6 cups cold water

- 2 (5-gram) packages katsuo bushi (dried bonito flakes), about 1 cup
-
Bring cold water and kombu just to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Remove from heat and remove kombu. Sprinkle katsuo bushi over liquid; let stand 3 minutes and, if necessary, stir to make katsuo bushi sink. Pour through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or a coffee filter into a bowl.
Cooks' notes: If making stock for miso soup, it is not necessary to save the kombu or katsuo bushi.
