Method

1. Start by making your dashi stock. Pop the pieces of dried kelp into a large pan and add a handful of dried shiitake mushrooms. Pour over 1 ltr cold water and stir well. Set aside for 4-8 hrs to soak. Once soaked, pop the pan onto a medium-low heat and slowly warm to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat just before it reaches boiling point, then strain the liquid through a fine sieve or muslin cloth into a separate pan. The strained liquid is your dashi stock.
2. Unwrap the tofu and slice it into small, bite-sized squares. Trim the roots and any ragged greens from the spring onions. Finely slice the spring onions. Trim the dry ends from the oyster mushrooms, then thinly slice them. Trim the root end off the pak choi, then finely slice it. Peel and finely grate the ginger.
3. Gently warm the dashi. Spoon 3 tbsp miso into a bowl, and carefully pour in 3-4 tbsp of the warm dashi. Use a fork to whisk the miso and dashi together, then pour the mixture back into the dashi in the pan. Stir well to fully combine.
4. Add the tofu, ginger and mushrooms to the pan and bring the soup to a very gentle simmer. Add the sliced pak choi. Cook for 3-4 mins, till the greens are tender. Stir in the spring onions.
5. Divide the soup into small bowls and serve.
