Variations

You can also use dried shiitake mushrooms, in which case you will lose 30% of the water to absorption.

You can swap out a small portion of the shiitake mushrooms with porchini mushrooms for an earthier flavour.

Instructions

1. Place the mushrooms and kombu in a pot with the water and bring to a gentle simmer.
2. Leave for an hour for the mushrooms and kombu to infuse.
3. If you want, remove the mushrooms and/or kombu. (Otherwise you can keep them in.)
