Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups dashi stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz sliced pork and cook until it changes color, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 cup daikon and 1 cup bamboo shoots. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until daikon is tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 7 oz cubed tofu and 3 tbsp miso paste. Stir gently until miso dissolves, then simmer 2 minutes until heated through. Serve hot.
