Suiton, once called 'poor man's food,' is revived with Ryuji's ultimate recipe. The chewy texture of suiton and the dashi broth, infused with the umami of chicken and root vegetables, strike a perfect balance. It's an easy, inexpensive, and satisfying traditional dish that warms the heart.

  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 3 tbsp
  • [A] Sake 2 tbsp
  • [A] Bonito powder 5g
  • [A] Haimi 9 dashes
  • [B] Water 100g
  • Shichimi Togarashi to taste

Steps

  1. Wash the burdock root to remove any dirt.
  2. Cut the burdock root lengthwise in half, then slice it diagonally into thin pieces.
  3. Add the sliced burdock root 150g to a pot.
  4. Cut the carrot lengthwise in half, then slice it into half-moon pieces.
  5. Add the sliced carrot 120g to the pot.
  6. Thinly slice the shiitake mushroom stems, then slice the caps as well.
  7. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms 100g to the pot.
  8. Dice the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces. Chop and add the skin as well.
  9. Add the diced chicken thigh 300-350g to the pot.
  10. Add water 1000cc to the pot.
  11. Add soy sauce 5 tbsp, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 3 tbsp, sake 2 tbsp, bonito powder 5g, and Haimi 9 dashes to the pot.
  12. Heat the pot over medium-low heat and carefully remove any scum that rises.
  13. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  14. In a bowl, combine cake flour 100g, potato starch 50g, and water 100g, then mix well with a spatula to create the suiton dough. [Pro Tip!] A ratio of 2:1:2 for cake flour, potato starch, and water will create chewy suiton.
  15. After simmering for 15 minutes, use two spoons to scoop bite-sized pieces of the suiton dough and drop them into the soup.
  16. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the suiton is firm.
  17. Serve in bowls and sprinkle with Shichimi Togarashi to taste, if desired.
