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?

I do my rice until it is clear, 7+x.....
