Instructions

  1. Combine kombu and 8 cups water in a large saucepan. Let sit until kombu softens, 25 –35 minutes. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately remove from heat; fish out kombu and discard.

  2. Add a splash of water to pot to cool liquid slightly. Add bonito flakes and stir once to submerge them. Return to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently, skimming off any foam, 5 minutes. Let steep off heat, 15 minutes.

  3. Strain dashi through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander into a medium bowl; do not press on solids.

Why this Dashi works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Dashi that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
