Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Seared Tofu 250g
  • Ground Chicken (Breast/Thigh) 400g
  • Mizuna Greens 1 bunch
  • Enoki Mushrooms 1 pack

Seasonings

  • Water 700ml
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 50ml
  • [A] Light Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Kombu (Kelp) 5g
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Ponzu Sauce (to taste)
  • Yuzu Pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Lightly squeeze excess water from the Seared Tofu (250g) and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Pour 700ml of Water into a donabe (earthenware pot) and add the Ground Chicken (Breast/Thigh) (400g), breaking it up so there are no large clumps.
  3. Add 50ml of Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1 tbsp of Light Soy Sauce, and 1 tbsp of Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) to the same pot.
  4. Wipe off any surface dirt from the Kombu (Kelp) (5g) with a damp paper towel and add it to the pot.
  5. Heat the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring to prevent sticking.
  6. Once boiling, add all the cut Seared Tofu.
  7. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  8. Cut off the root ends of the Mizuna Greens (1 bunch) and cut into bite-sized lengths.
  9. Place the cut Mizuna Greens in a salad spinner, fill with water until submerged, and let sit for 5 minutes to remove bitterness.
  10. Trim the hard ends off the Enoki Mushrooms (1 pack) and separate them by hand.
  11. After 5 minutes, thoroughly drain the Mizuna Greens and pat dry.
  12. Taste the soup that has been simmering for 10 minutes. [The Key Tip!] The soup will be surprisingly delicious at this stage.
  13. Add Salt to your preference to adjust the seasoning.
  14. Move the Tofu to the side of the pot, add the separated Enoki Mushrooms to the cleared space, and lightly cook.
  15. Once the enoki mushrooms have softened, add all the drained Mizuna Greens.
  16. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. [The Key Tip!] Ensure the enoki mushrooms are fully cooked and the mizuna greens are steamed to retain their texture.
  17. After 5 minutes, remove the lid and gently stir everything together to combine.
  18. Taste again at the end, and adjust with salt or other seasonings if the flavor is too light.
  19. While piping hot, serve with ponzu sauce, yuzu pepper, or other condiments.
