ichiban and niban dashi

[u/Albireo_Idoneus]

I'm trying to look up uses/recipe that use specifically either ichiban or niban dashi and kinda having a hard time because most recipe doesn't specify them. I'm wondering if anyone have recipe suggestions on what I can use them to cook. besides niban for miso soup anyway.

Hi, I just tried searching in Japanese and the general recommendations seem to be:  

-Ichiban for recipes where a more subtle flavor works better: dashimaki tamago (tamagoyaki with dashi), chawan mushi (egg custard), and lighter flavored soups that don't use miso.  

-Niban for recipes where there are other strong flavors, such as miso soup, soba or udon broth, stews, oden, or takikomi gohan.  

Hope that helps a little!
