Ingredients:
1 quart water
1-2 dried pieces dried Wakame
1 Tablespoon miso paste (I like South River Miso)
Instructions:
- Boil Wakame in water for 20 minutes. Remove wakame and cut into small strips, and return to the broth. (You may want to remove the midrib before you put into water, or after. It can be a bit chewy).
- Remove about ¼ cup of broth from pan and stir in your miso. Return miso mix to pan, stir and serve.
Additions:
Alternatively, you can add cloves of sliced garlic, dried diced ginger root 10 minutes before removing from heat.
This wonderful broth can be also be a base for any soup. Add your vegetables during the last 10 minutes of boiling. Just make sure to turn off the heat before adding your miso.
