How to Make Japanese Noodle Soup

  1. In a large pot, combine 4 cups of water or vegetable broth, 2 cups of sliced shiitake mushrooms, 1 cup of shredded carrots, 1/2 cup of sliced green onions, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Add 1 cup of dried ramen noodles (or other noodles of your choice) and 1/4 cup of dried wakame seaweed. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until noodles are cooked through and wakame is softened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or a splash of rice vinegar for balance.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
