Ingredients
- 300 g salmon fillet

- 4 tbsp white miso paste
- 1.5 L dashi stock
- 100 g shiitake mushrooms
- 100 g baby spinach
- 3 stalks green onions

Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Slice the shiitake mushrooms, finely chop the green onions, peel and julienne the carrot, and cut the tofu into small cubes.
In a bowl, soak the dried wakame seaweed in warm water for 5 minutes or until it expands. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and carrot, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Pour in the dashi stock and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in the white miso paste until fully dissolved.
Add the salmon cubes to the soup and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through.
Gently stir in the tofu cubes, rehydrated wakame, spinach, and soy sauce. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding extra soy sauce if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
