1. Julienne the shiitake mushrooms.
2. Cut the pork into whatever size you prefer (cut them slightly larger as they shrink).
3. For the soup, you could use A) or B).
4. I don't buy commercial dashi stock, so I made dashi with A).
5. If using B), dilute it if the dashi is concentrated.
6. Put either A) or B) in a saucepan.
7. If you're eating the noodles in the broth instead of dipping, add 50-100 ml of water (this is for dipping so the flavor is concentrated).
8. Add Step 1 into the saucepan, and simmer on medium heat.
9. Once it has come to a boil, bring down the heat to low.
10. There's no need to let it boil.
11. Once the meat has cooked through and the ingredients have softened, it's done.
