Thanks to everyone, 7,000 reports! I'm grateful.

No time! But I still want some soup... This is the savior for such times. But, I tend to get greedy and add a lot of things, haha.
The origin of this recipe: On days when I come home late from work, I can't go shopping... and making dinner becomes a race against time! The daily challenge is how to make something quick, delicious, and nutritious.
You might think, 'Is this even a recipe?' but honestly, I want to learn your time-saving tricks!

Thanks to everyone, 7,000 reports! I'm grateful.

Steps

1

Put water in a pot and add the granulated dashi. Bring to a boil over high heat. If using dried wakame, add it now.
2

Cut the vegetables starting with those that take longer to cook. Slice them as thinly as possible and add them to the pot as you go.
3

Once all the ingredients are in and it comes to a boil, dissolve the miso. Adjust the taste, then turn off the heat just before it boils again. Done! It took exactly 5 minutes with the ingredients above!
4

Use leftover shredded cabbage from the previous day. I also shredded the carrot.
5

If you have leftover eggs, beat them. Half an egg is enough for two servings. The ingredients here are imitation crab, mizuna, shiitake mushrooms, and onion.
