This vegan rendition, steeped in a rich and umami-packed mushroom dashi, features an assortment of fresh vegetables and tofu, simmering together in harmony.

Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 oz dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1 sheet kombu (dried kelp)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 block firm tofu, cut into cubes
- 2 cups Napa cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup carrot, sliced
- 1 cup enoki mushrooms
- 1 cup shimeji mushrooms
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt to taste
Steps:
- To make the mushroom dashi, combine water, dried shiitake mushrooms, and kombu in a large pot. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes before heating.
- After soaking, bring the pot to a boil over medium heat. As soon as it reaches a boil, remove the kombu to prevent bitterness. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Strain the broth to remove the mushrooms and kombu. You can save the shiitake mushrooms for later use in the nabe or another dish.
- Return the clear dashi to the pot. Stir in soy sauce and mirin, bringing the broth to a simmer over low heat.
- Add the tofu, Napa cabbage, carrot, enoki mushrooms, and shimeji mushrooms to the pot. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary. Serve the nabe hot, garnished with green onions. Offer additional soy sauce on the side for those who prefer a saltier flavor.
