Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 130 grams onion about ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 100 grams carrot 1 small carrot, cut into small cubes
  • 60 grams burdock root see note below recipe
  • 160 grams shirataki noodles (roughly chopped)
  • 250 grams pork shoulder (thinly sliced)
  • ½ cup sake
  • 4 cups water
  • 250 grams potato 3 small potatoes cut into medium cubes
  • cup white miso Saikyo style

Instructions

  1. Heat a pot over medium-high heat until hot. add the oil and saute the onions, carrots, burdock and shirataki.
  2. Add the pork and stir-fry until until the pork is cooked through.
  3. Add the sake and bring to a boil. Cook until the vapors no longer smell like alcohol.
  4. Add the water and potatoes and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender (about 20 minutes).
  5. Turn down the heat and add the Saikyo miso, stirring well to ensure there are no clumps of miso left. Once the miso is added, do not let the soup boil or the miso will separate.
  6. Garnish the Tonjiru with scallions and serve with rice.

Notes

  • To prepare the burdock, fill a bowl with cold water and then add some lemon juice, vinegar, or citric acid. Soaking the burdock in acidic water keeps it from oxidizing and turning brown. Peel the burdock, and rub some of the acidic water on the surface. Use a knife to shave thin strips of burdock into the acidified water, turning the burdock a quarter turn with each stroke as if you're sharpening a pencil with a knife. Let the burdock soak until you are ready to use it, and then drain and rinse it before using.
