Ingredients
- 1 ounce dried fish anchovy, bonito, or sardine
- 1 ounce dried shiitake mushroom about 1 ounce
- 3 ½ cups water
- 2 ounces konbu
- ⅓ cup Salt 16% by weight
Instructions
- Use a spice grinder to grind the dried fish and dried shiitake mushroom into a powder.
- Put the water in a large stockpot and add the konbu. Bring it to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove and discard the konbu.
- Add the fish-and-mushroom powder to the simmering water and bring it to a boil again. When it boils, remove from the heat and strain the liquid through a paper or cloth filter (a coffee filter works well for this).
- If calculating salt by weight, measure the weight of the liquid using a kitchen scale. Add 16% of this weight in salt.
- Alternatively, you can measure out exactly 2 cups of the liquid and add ⅓ cup of salt. You will end up discarding some of the liquid you have made and as a result have less tare in the end. (Again, it’s best to use the weight measurement.)
- Mix salt in well.
- The tare will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few months.

Notes
Dried fish is becoming more and more popular as a snack and,
as a result, is easier to find, especially in health food stores. You’ll find it in most
Asian groceries as well—and, of course, online. It keeps for months in a cool, dry
spot in the cupboard.
