A culinary expert flips from over-the-top tonjiru to nail the classic, traditional version. Simple but with concentrated vegetable and pork umami — rice will not stand a chance.
Instructions
- Cut the daikon into ~5mm-thick ichou-giri (quarter rounds). The skin can stay on.
- Cut the carrot into ~5mm-thick half-moons, similar in size to the daikon.
- Lightly scrub the burdock with a tawashi and slice diagonally (sasagaki shavings work too, but diagonal is faster and keeps more fiber).
- Rinse the konjac in warm water, lightly tap it with your palm to make holes, and tear into bite-size pieces with a spoon.
- Cut the pork belly into 3-4cm pieces. Sizing all the ingredients similarly gives a uniform bite.
- Halve the long scallion lengthwise and slice diagonally.
- In a frying pan with no oil, lay the pork belly out without overlapping, and cook over medium heat to render the fat.
- Add the burdock and stir-fry. Once aromatic, add daikon, carrot, and konjac, and toss until they're coated in the fat.
- Add water, hondashi, and Hondashi Kombu Dashi. Bring to a boil over high heat, drop to low-medium, place a drop-lid (otoshibuta), and simmer 20 minutes.
- Once everything is tender, dissolve in the white miso while stirring, finish with the long scallion, and stir briefly.
- Serve while still hot.
