My Every Day Dashi (non vegetarian)

If I am drinking miso soup for a breakfast, I soak all the ingredients in the water before I go to bed. If it is for dinner, I will soak during the day. Then simply heat it up, and add some veggies, seaweed and miso. This dashi works for not only miso but for pretty much for everything. After all this might be the only dashi you need!
