Ingrediënten

De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Add water, kombu, and dried shiitake mushrooms to a medium pot.

2. 2

   Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, but do not boil.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Boiling kombu can make the dashi bitter.

3. 3

   Remove the kombu from the pot once it has softened, usually after about 5 minutes of simmering.

4. 4

   Continue to simmer the broth with the shiitake mushrooms for another 5-10 minutes to deepen the flavor.

   Ongeveer 10 min

5. 5

   While the broth simmers, place the dried wakame in a small bowl and cover with warm water for 5 minutes to rehydrate.

   Ongeveer 5 min

6. 6

   Once rehydrated, drain the wakame and gently squeeze out any excess water.

7. 7

   Remove the shiitake mushrooms from the broth; you can slice them and add them back to the soup later if desired.

8. 8

   Ladle a small amount of warm broth into a separate bowl and dissolve the miso paste thoroughly.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Dissolving miso separately prevents clumps in the soup.

9. 9

   Reduce the heat to low, then pour the dissolved miso paste back into the pot of broth.

   Tip van de kok: Do not boil the soup after adding miso, as it can diminish its flavor and beneficial probiotics.
