Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 teaspoons organic toasted sesame oil

1 small organic onion -- minced

1 organic garlic clove -- minced

6 cups water

10 dried shiitake mushrooms

OR maitake

4 tablespoons organic low-sodium soy sauce

OR Tamari soy sauce

4 cups sliced fresh organic mushrooms

MIX OF cremini, oyster, shiitake or enoki

1/4 cup dry white wine

6 stalks organic bok choy, greens included -- thinly sliced

4 organic scallions -- sliced

freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

 

Heat the oil in a medium soup pot. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over

medium heat until the onion is golden. Add the water, dried mushrooms and 2

tablespoons of the soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, then cover and continue to

simmer gently for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand another 15

minutes. Strain through a fine sieve. Reserve the mushrooms, trimming and

discarding any stems; thinly slice the caps.

 

Return the broth and sliced shiitakes or maitakes to the pot and again bring to

a simmer. Add the fresh mushrooms and continue to simmer gently for 10 to 15

minutes, covered, or until they are cooked but still pleasantly chewy. Add the

remaining ingredients and the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and simmer

for another 5 to 8 minutes, or just until the bok choy is tender-crisp. Serve

at once.
