Everything about Niboshi totally explained
Niboshi (煮干し) are
Japanese dried baby
sardines (sometimes translated as
anchovies). They are one of many varieties of small dried
fish used throughout
Asia in snacks and as seasoning for
soup stocks and other
foods.
In
Japan,
niboshi dashi is one of the more common forms of dashi. It is especially popular as the base stock when making
miso soup. Niboshi dashi is made by soaking niboshi in plain
water. If left overnight or brought nearly to a boil, the flavor of the small sardines permeates the water and makes a popular stock.
Niboshi are also cooked and served as snacks and as one of the symbolic foods making up the Japanese
osechi during
New Year.
Tazukuri (fried sweet and savory sardines for New Year) are made by frying the dried sardines and then adding a mixture of
shoyu,
sugar,
mirin, and roasted white sesame seeds. Korean fried sardines often include small amounts of ginger, garlic, and chili paste as well.
