About this recipe
Method
15 min prep ยท 30 min cook
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.
