CJAnchovy Dashida (Fish Stock) 300g

Bought to make a poor man's noodle soup. Lighter flavor than expected but very delicious! No regrets!

It’s a flavorful dashi to make soup stock etc.

This is great seasoning if you are into cooking Korean culinary traditional dishes. You just need to know when and how much to use. Much more convenient than having to make your own anchovy broth. These are hard to find in my area so I was pleased to see that Amazon had these. Use these primarily as a stock base for many of my Korean soup and it really brings out the flavor as it’s supposed to.

excellent!

If you are looking for an anchovy powder to make fish/seafood flavor then this is the one, especially if you want that Unami seafood flavor/smell. I think this stock powder does have some msg but not a lot . I am quite sensitive to msg that I can’t eat at any of the typical Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants that use msg in their food, especially the Vietnamese pho soup. I would normally get a migraine after eating at these place within hours; but with this brand, I don’t get migraines unless I was really dehydrated that day and on tons of coffee ( which is also triggers migraine). I normally use this powder for Asian-styled soup. Helps cut down the cooking time a lot, especially if you don’t have time to cook there broth from pork bones, chicken bones, or such like the traditional Asian methods. Even if I use the instant pot, it still take at least a minimum of 30 minutes plus. I admit that if you don’t like that fishy smell then this might not be the one for you. Of course it would be cheaper to get this at a Korean store, but 300g should last for awhile if it’s just one person. I usually use about 1 teaspoon for about 3-5 cups of water, depending on how flavorful you want your broth.

Excellent product. This is a hard to find item and they have it at a good price. I will be doing business again!

Good stuff, a little goes a long way. If you like the taste and smell of fish, you'll like this.

I know that most Asian soup base have MSG and I'm generally okay with it. This product however has such a strong taste of MSG that it leaves a horrible after-taste in my mouth and I had to throw the whole pot of soup out! I also found out that it can't be returned.
