Shiitake Miso Soup

This is probably the easiest simplest thing to cook....ever.  And it's tasty


A handful of dried shiitake mushrooms sliced
2 pieces dried black fungus
Pinch sliced dried seaweed
2 teaspoons white miso paste
2 spring onions sliced.
2 cups boiling water


Re-hydrate the fungus and shiitake in some boiling water for 10 minutes or until soft (if your shiitake mushrooms are whole this will take longer).
Place miso paste in small heavy bottomed sauce pan and add a small amount of the water from the mushrooms to mix through.
Add water then mushrooms and spring onions and cook over a medium heat until boiling, reduce heat and add seaweed.
Allow to simmer for 1 or 2 minutes.
Rest for 5 minutes and then serve


Variations: Cubes of silken tofu are also really good in this dish, I just didn't have any on hand. Also fresh mushrooms can be used and some grated ginger...other ingredients which I don't currently have.
