Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

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.
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.
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.
