Look great I love it thanks for sharing !!!
This looks so earthy and delicious Raymund.
Love the light and fresh flavors that this gives off! Thanks for sharing!
So this is more like a miso soup? I’ve never tried miso soup with vermicelli in it. It sounds delightful~~~. :)
It is something like miso soup but tastier
That is a fantastic stock Ray – I can’t find dried kombu too easily here…but I am off to Japan in a few weeks so will look out for some to bring back with me ! :)
Hi, Raymund, I’m excited to try this! I clicked on the stars to read the reviews and instead ended up rating the recipe. Is there a way for me to un-do that? Thanks!
Unfortunately no, the polling system is served by Polldaddy will see if I can undo it but I doubt it. Anyways that should be fine, let me know how your trial turns up.
