INGREDIENTS
40 grams thinly sliced, dried shiitake mushrooms
4 cups fish stock (Tetra Pak stock is suitable)

150 grams dried somen noodles
250 grams raw, peeled prawns

METHOD
Soak the shiitake mushrooms in 1 ½ cups of boiling water for 10 minutes.
Put the stock, the 3 cups of water and the dashi granules in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Whisk in the miso paste then add the shitake mushrooms, their soaking water and the noodles. Bring back to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the prawns and bok choy and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the prawns are just cooked and the bok choy is wilted.
