Ingredients
Dashi
- 500 ml water cold
- 6 g dried kelp kombu

Miso Soup
- 30 g Japanese leek naganegi
- 125 g tofu firm

- 30 g shimeji mushrooms (or mushrooms of your choice)
- 2 tbsp miso paste I used awase/mixed miso, vegan
- ½ tbsp white sesame seeds optional
Instructions
Plant Based Awase Dashi
- Place 6 g dried kelp (kombu) and 4 g dried shiitake mushroom in a pot with 500 ml cold water. Place a drop-lid on top and leave to soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Once rehydrated, place the pot on the stove and heat over a medium setting until almost boiling. Remove the kombu and shiitake right before the dashi starts to boil, you can discard them or finely slice them and add them back into the soup depending on preference.
Cup of Yum
Miso soup
- Cut 30 g Japanese leeks (naganegi) into diagonal pieces and 125 g firm tofu into cubes. Peel 20 g ginger root using a spoon and then cut into thin sticks (julienne). 30 g shimeji mushrooms can be left whole or sliced depending on preference.
- Add the ginger, tofu, spring onion and mushroom to the dashi and cook until warmed through.
- Turn off the heat and add 2 tbsp vegan miso paste to a mesh spoon. Dip the spoon in the dashi and whisk the miso paste to incorporate it into the broth.
- Pour the miso soup into serving bowls and top with a sprinkle of ½ tbsp white sesame seeds.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Best eaten immediately.
- For storage, keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator and reheat on the stove. (Do not boil.)
