Grandma's Country Soup
- 150 grams Chicken breast meat
- 200 grams Daikon radish
- 100 grams Carrot
- 100 grams Satoimo (taro potatoes)
- 2 small Aburaage
- 1/4 block Tofu
- 2 large leaves Chinese cabbage
- 1200 ml Dashi stock (2 teaspoons if using dashi stock granules)
- 2 clove Garlic
- 2 tbsp each Soy sauce and sake
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 1 Green onions or scallions
- Cut the chicken into small pieces.
- Cut the daikon radish, carrot, Chinese cabbage and taro root into bite sized pieces.
- Blanch the aburaage in boiling water for a second, drain and cut into thin strips.
- Grate the garlic, and chop the green onion finely.
- Heat some oil in a pot, put in the chicken and stir fry.
- When the chicken starts to change color, take the pot off the heat and cool the bottom by placing it on a well wrung out kitchen towel briefly.
- This way, the meat will come off the bottom of the pot cleanly.
- Put the pot back on the heat.
- When the chicken has changed color, add the carrots, then the daikon radish, then the satoimo and finally the Chinese cabbage.
- Stir fry.
- When the vegetables have started to wilt add the dashi, grated garlic and aburaage.
- Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low and simmer.
- When the vegetables have turned soft, add the ingredients and simmer for another 30 to 40 minutes.
- Add the tofu and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, taste and adjust the seasoning and it's done!
- When you have some extra time, take the pot off the heat for 20 to 30 minutes, then re-heat; it will be even more delicious.
- Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
