I'm thinking of buying some kombu, to use in making stock (there's an
aubergine-miso soup [1] in the archives, posted by Michelle Dick, that I
want to try, among other things). It's quite expensive, though; and most
of the recipes I've seen tell you to take the kombu out after making the
stock.
What I'm wondering is, can you dry and re-use the kombu? Or does
absolutely all the flavour come out the first time you simmer it?
