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.
