  1. Hello! It’s great to hear that you’re exploring gluten-free alternatives for Asian cooking. Shiro Dashi is typically made from bonito flakes and kelp, but many commercial versions contain soy sauce, which usually contains gluten.

    One option is to look for brands that specifically state they are gluten-free. Some popular gluten-free dashi options you can try include:

    1. Yamamoto Dashi: This brand offers a gluten-free version that you may find in specialty Asian markets or online.
    2. Katsuobushi: This is a dried bonito that can be steeped in hot water to create a quick dashi. Just make sure it’s labeled gluten-free.
    3. Homemade Shiro Dashi: Consider making it from scratch using gluten-free ingredients. You can simmer dried shiitake mushrooms and kombu (seaweed) in water to create a rich umami flavor without gluten.

    Check local Asian grocery stores or health food stores, and if you’re comfortable with online shopping, websites like Amazon or specialty Asian grocery sites could also have what you’re looking for! Happy cooking!
