Gently clean the kombu with a damp cloth, remember not to remove the white powder as this is what contributes to the unique umami flavour of kombu.

Add mirin, soy sauce, salt and sugar and mushroom into the broth and bring to a simmer for another 10 minutes. Cover the sauce pan with a lid. In the mean time, chop the chicken breasts and orka into smaller pieces, extract the corn kernels.
Add the chicken breasts, spinach, carrots, corn kernels and orka into the broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
The broth is ready for serving. Add in the roasted sesame seeds when served!
