4cupsfiltered water
2TBSPwakame, driedCut with kitchen shears to small pieces
1sheet/foldyuba, cut into 3/4 in strips

Instructions
Defrost corn. When defrosted, put the entire bag contents into a blender with 3 cups of water and the bullion paste.
Cut up all the veggies (shiitakes, scallions) and cut up your yuba strips.
Put a soup pot on the stove and heat on medium. Add sesame oil.
Add sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook until soft.
Blend the corn until it is a cream corn consistency with some full kernels still visible. This would be 10-20 seconds in a high-powered blender like a Vitamix.
Add this corn mixture to the pot along with 1 additional cup of water and heat on high and bring to a boil.
Lower heat to medium and add wakame pieces and yuba strips. Add white pepper.
Heat through until wakame and yuba are soft.
Serve with sliced scallions as a garnish.

Notes
You can find wakame and yuba at Asian grocery stores or online. Yuba is also called a bean curd sheet or spring roll skin. If your order it dry, you will need to break it into pieces. If you see spring roll skin, make sure it's made from soybeans, not flour. I get my yuba at Hmart in the refrigerated or freezer section. It is fresh packaged so the sheet can be cut with kitchen shears. I like the brand Havista and it is non-GMO. If you are looking for organic yuba and live on the West coast, you may be able to find yuba made by Hodo Soy. https://www.hodofoods.com/product-details/kumiage-yuba
