Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 32 ounces (907 grams) bone broth
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) sliced mushrooms
  • 23 green onions, sliced thinly

Spices and Seasonings:

  • 12 pinches garlic powder
  • 12 pinches ground ginger

Finishing Ingredient:

  • 12 teaspoons (60 milliliters) sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare a medium-sized pot and pour the bone broth, raising the temperature to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Incorporate garlic powder, ground ginger, and sesame oil into the warming liquid, stirring thoroughly to create a harmonious blend of aromatics.
  3. Reduce heat to low and introduce delicate mushroom slices, allowing them to steep and release their essence for approximately 57 minutes, transforming the broth into a rich, nuanced elixir.
  4. As the final moments approach, gently fold in freshly sliced green onions, preserving their crisp texture and vibrant flavor profile.
  5. Transfer the luminous, fragrant liquid into serving vessels, ensuring each bowl captures the depth and warmth of this Japanese-inspired mushroom infusion.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, high-quality shiitake or enoki mushrooms for the most authentic and rich umami flavor profile.
  • Replace bone broth with vegetable stock to create an instantly vegetarian-friendly version of this healing elixir.
  • Adjust ginger and garlic powder quantities to match personal taste preferences or dietary needs.
