kishimen with mushroom & miso soup

ingredients:

step 1:

Wipe the shiitake mushrooms with a wet paper towel. Cut off the stems and slice the caps. Cut off the roots of the enoki mushrooms 3 cm. from the end and cut in half. Cut off the roots of the shimeji mushrooms.

step 2:

Thinly slice the green onion (or leek).

step 3:

Pour the bonito soup stock into a pan. Bring to a boil on medium heat. Add all the mushrooms. Boil for about 4 minutes. After boiling, put some stock into a ladle. Add the red miso to the ladle and stir with chopsticks until it is dissolved. Stir into the soup.

step 4:

Add the cooked kishimen and cover the pan and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Serve in 2 big bowls. Sprinkle the kishimen with the sliced green onions and shichimi (seven-spice seasoning), if desired.

The mushroom flavor soaks into the kishimen and makes this a very delicious soup.
