Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1/3 cup dulse or wakame
  • 1/3 cup dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tsp sea salt – good quality
  • 2 tsp white miso
  • 2 tbsp. coconut aminos – I used Bragg Brands

Instructions

  1. To a medium-sized saucepan, add the water, seaweed of choice, dried shiitake mushrooms, and sea salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes will lid off.
  2. Remove the mixture from heat. Pour it through a strainer (fine-mesh) into a bowl. Be sure to lightly press on the mushrooms and dulse with a spoon to get all that flavourful liquid.
  3. To this bowl, miso and coconut amonis . Taste test and add ingredients as needed.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in a sealed jar container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.  Make sure you give it a good shake before using it.
  • Salt: Adding more salt will make it saltier.
  • Miso: I suggest using white in this recipe but if you don't have access to white miso then any miso will do. The more miso the more umami the sauce will have.
  • Coconut aminos: if you do not have coconut aminos, is Tamari for a GF option or Soy sauce.  This ingredient will add a full-bodied flavour.
