½ teaspoon dashi powder (dissolve in chicken broth
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (adjust to your liking)
2 tablespoons mirin

Kitchen notes :
✓ Use a heavy-bottomed pot as it absorbs and distributes heat more evenly.
✓ You can use any protein you like.
✓ Use rotisserie chicken. It'll save you time.
✓ Bamboo shoots, burdock root, broccoli, water chestnuts, sweet potatoes, other mushrooms (shiitake, enoki, button and baby bella) and water chestnuts are some great vegetable options.
