This is a make-ahead recipe that is kind to your mind and body.

Mushrooms and wakame
are low in calories,
easy on your wallet,
and good for your gut health too!

What's more!!
You don't need a knife,
and since you can make it just in the microwave,
you can make it even when you're not feeling motivated.

It's super convenient!

It's also great that once you've made it,
you can enjoy it in many different ways!

You just microwave the mushrooms and wakame,
but there is a trick to how you add the wakame.

Not rehydrating the cut wakame beforehand,
adding it as is,
and rehydrating it with the moisture from the other ingredients
is a familiar technique in the Okuzono style, but

since we are microwaving it this time,
there is a little trick.

********************

First, put the wakame and water at the bottom of the bowl,
then place the mushrooms on top and microwave it!!

********************

This is the Okuzono style for this recipe.

It's just a small thing,
but this allows the wakame to rehydrate perfectly,
and it also gives the wakame a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture,
making it very easy to eat.

Not only does it save you the trouble of rehydrating the wakame in advance,
but it also keeps the flavor and nutrients of the wakame from escaping,
and also,
when you microwave it like this,
the wakame finishes with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture,
so I think it will be easy for small children and the elderly to eat as well.

It's incredibly easy,
and by eating it little by little,
it's good for your gut health,
and good for dieting too.

There are so many ways to eat this, so
please, by all means, give it a try.
