2. Dilute the noodle broth to pack instructions with boiling water - taste it before serving, as it could taste too strong or too weak.
3. Rehydrate the wakame in water and leave for 10 minutes. Once rehydrated, squeeze out the water and cut to bite size pieces. 
4. Add the wakame, spring onion to the bowl and pour the hot noodle broth. Sprinkle Clearspring Organic Irigoma - Toasted Sesame Seeds and Clearspring Organic Shichimi Togarashi - Seven Spice Blend.
