Why It Works

Remouillage — Second Extraction Stock

Sauce Making

Boiling instead of simmering, which extracts bitter compounds from bones that have already been stressed. Cooking too long — beyond 6 hours, used bones begin to release calcium phosphate, which makes the stock chalky. Discarding remouillage because it seems 'weak' — it is lighter, not weak. Not skimming, which makes an already delicate stock cloudy.

Niban dashi — Japanese niban dashi (second dashi) follows the identical principle — reusing kombu and katsuobushi that have already produced ichiban dashi — extracting a lighter but still valuable liquid for everyday cooking rather than fine soup.
