Japanese Osuimono with bok choy for Qi stagnation
Osuimono is a light Japanese clear soup made with dashi, vegetables, and a touch of seasoning.
This combination — especially ginger, onion, shiitake, and dried shrimp — helps gently move Qi and support comfortable digestion. Bok choy adds a refreshing, cooling element that can help ease heat and support circulation.
It’s a soothing soup for sluggish digestion, mild bloating, or when you want something warm yet light.

Make a Katsuo dashi soup. Bring 1L water to a near boil (you will see small bubbles coming up. That's the right time) and add bonito flakes. As soon as it brings to a boil, turn off the heat. Leave it for 2 minutes, then strain the bonito flakes slowly. Do Not squeeze. This is very important.
Cut the carrot and onion in long and thin, and other vegetables as you like.
Grate the fresh ginger root.
Pour the Katsuodashi soup into a pot, add carrot, and bring to a near boil again.
Add dried shrimp, shiitake mushroom, and onion. Cover and simmer on low for 2 minutes.
Add the bok choy, grated fresh ginger root, soy sauce, sake and salt. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat.
