Instructions

  • Cut the daikon into four thick rounds and peel the skin off. Score one side with a cross, about 1 cm deep to prevent the daikon from falling apart when simmering for a long time.
  • Boil the daikon in water with ¼ cup rice for about 15-25 minutes.
  • Soak the konjac in water to remove any bad odor, then cut it into triangles.
  • Pour water into a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, oyster sauce, dashi powder, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add the chicken legs, then add potatoes, daikon, konjac pieces, and half of the shrimp dumplings to make the broth tasty.
  • Add fishcakes, mochi kinchaku, and other soft ingredients toward the end.
  • When the meat has cooked through, the soup is done. It takes about 20-25 min.
  • Serve and enjoy with Japanese mustard Karashi.
