Miso Soup with Mochi Dumplings
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1/3 medium Carrot
- 2 cm Daikon radish
- 2 Dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1/5 Burdock root
- 40 grams Kabocha squash
- 2 tbsp Blended miso
- 1000 ml Dashi stock made from dried sardines or water
- 1 tsp Dashi stock granules
- 30 grams Shiratamako
- 30 grams Cake flour
- 40 ml Water
- Put the two flours in a bowl, and knead while adding the water a little at a time until it forms a soft dough.
- Rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut up the potato, carrot and daikon radish into thin, easy to eat slices.
- Rehydrate the dried shiitake mushrooms and slice thinly.
- Shave the burdock root thinly, and cut up the kabocha squash into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the dashi stock (made from dried sardines) or water and all the cut up vegetables except the kabocha squash into a pan and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat to medium, simmer for a bit then add the kabocha squash.
- Simmer until tender.
- Dissolve in the blended miso, and add the dashi stock granules.
- Pull off small portions of the rested dumpling dough, form into dumplings and drop into the soup.
- Simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
- (You can get about 16 dumplings from the dough.)
- Ladle into bowls, garnish with some chopped green onion and it's done.
- It's delicious with some yuzu pepper added.
- One Cookpad user made this into a traditional "kenchin" style soup.
