anyone know how to make good hon dashi with msg?

Sushi rice, rinse 3x in cold water. Cook 1C rice to 2 1/2C water. When it is hot I toss it in a wooden bowl with a wooden spatula (the Japanese Chefs are very specific about not using metal with rice) let it cool down a bit. Then I toss in a little Mirin. At room temp it is ready to roll.

What I have noticed over the years is that sometimes I have to adjust the water depending on the type of rice that I am using and altitude. Trial and error.

I love Nori and eat the strips as a snack. I also add it to soups.

Whenever I have made Dashi I buy the dried flakes in an Asian market. In SF I was spoiled being near Japantown. Do you mean with MSG or with no MSG?
