BROWN THE MUSHIES
Boil the kettle. Place a large pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, add the mushroom quarters and fry for 3-4 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pot on completion and place into a bowl. Season to taste.
BUILDING FLAVOUR
Return the pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Carrot chunks and fry for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften, shifting occasionally. Add ½ the fried mushrooms, the stock, the soy sauce and 400ml of boiling water. Mix until fully combined. Reduce the heat until a gentle simmer.
POACH THE CHICKY
Once the soup is simmering, lower the Chicken pieces into the broth, cover with the lid and leave to poach for 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
WILT THE CHOI
Place a pan, with a lid, over a medium heat with a splash of water. When hot, add the trimmed pak choi. Cover with the lid, and steam for 3-5 minutes until wilted. Drain on some paper towel and season.
FINISH UP
Place the miso paste in a small bowl and mix in 1 tbsp of boiling water until a runny paste forms (this prevents the miso from clumping when added to the soup). Add the loosened miso paste (to taste) and the shredded Kale to the soup. Leave to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted, stirring occasionally.
SAVOUR THE FLAVOUR!
Bowl up a generous helping of the Chicken miso soup. Top with the remaining fried mushrooms, and the wilted pak choi. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, the chopped chilli (to taste) and the picked coriander. Dig in, Chef!
