Instructions

  1. Prepare konjac by tearing into bite size chunks then boil it and drain. Set aside.
  2. Cut carrot, daikon, sweet potato randomly to bite size chunks.
  3. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat, and saute the vegetables and konjac well until the edge of the vegetables become translucent.
  4. Add just enough water (about ⅓ of water listed in the ingredients) to cover the vegetables and konjac in the pan.
  5. Place the pork over the veggies and konjac, put the lid on to steam cook for about 5 min.
  6. Pour in the rest of the water, and bring it to boil, skimming off scum occasionally.
  7. When the water has boiled, add the miso paste and stir.
  8. Turn off the heat and ladle into a soup bowl. Garnish with chopped scallion and shichimi togarashi if you like.

Notes

  • *1 Instead of butter, you can also use sesame seed oil. 
  • *2 if you have home made dashi, you don't need this dashi powder.
