INGREDIENTS:

2 cups Dashi stock / Water

2 tbsp Dried wakame

100g Shimeji mushrooms

3 - 4 tbsp Miso (White type soybean paste)

• To rehydrate wakame, submerge dried wakame in water for 5 minutes, drained, and it is ready to use.

• In a soup pot, bring dashi stock/water to a boil, add in shimeji mushrooms, and turn the heat to simmer.

• In a bowl, mix miso with a bit of soup stock till it dissolves completely, then pour it to the soup pot, mix well. NEVER OVERBOIL miso soup or it will lose its nutrients and flavour.
