- 1 pack "shirataki" (noodles made from konnyaku)
- 1 little spinach or a few snow peas (optional for garnish)

- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp mirin
- 2 Tbsp sake (rice wine)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Prepare your dashi stock if you don't have any already made.
- Cut the onions into wedges.
- Cut carrots into bite size pieces.
- Peel potatoes and cut into large chunks.
- If the meat is in long slices, cut it into smaller width (maybe 5 cm).
- Boil the shirataki noodles for 1 minute, drain and cut in half.
- Briefly boil the spinach or snow peas until they are bright green (30-60 seconds).
- Cool the spinach/snow peas in cold water and set aside til later.
- Heat a large pot with 1 Tbsp oil.
- Add onion and cook until they soften a little.
- Add the pork and saute with the onions until it changes color.
- Add the potatoes, carrots and shirataki to the pot.
- Pour in the soup and seasoning ingredients: dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar and salt.
- Bring to a boil.
- Skim off any foam that comes up in the soup.
- Cover lightly with a drop lid (you can use a piece of aluminum foil too) - or with an offset lid if you don't have one.
- Cook on medium-low for 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let it sit for 15 minutes to make it more flavorful if you can wait :P
- Serve into bowls.
- Garnish with the snow peas or pieces of spinach.
- Nice to eat with rice!
- Leftovers are even better the next day!
