How can I recreate the umami-rich flavor of dashi without using fish?

I love Japanese cuisine but want to explore vegan alternatives. Any tips on achieving that deep, savory umami taste in dishes like miso soup or noodles without using fish-based dashi?

Try using kombu seaweed for a flavorful base . You can also add dried shiitake mushrooms or soy sauce to amp up the savory goodness!
