Simplest possible dinner tonight: I put together a nice batch of dashi and brewed an entirely pleasant bowl of miso. Nothing adventurous, just sliced cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced scallions, white miso paste, a couple of scant dashes of mirin - just to add a slight hint of sweetness - and some wakame flakes.
Next time I'll put some more work into the dashi by letting my kombu soak for a few hours beforehand and by shaving my own katsuobushi, but that wasn't the shape of the evening tonight.
