Ingredients:

  • 16 - 20 small satoimo (taro potatoes), washed and peeled
  • 1 1/4 cup dashi soup stock
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sake

Preparation:

Put satoimo in a large pan and pour water enough to cover satoimo. Bring to a boil and turn down the heat to medium. Boil for a couple more minutes. Drain and wash boiled satoimo in water. Put dashi soup stock, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake in a large pan. Add satoimo in the soup. Put a drop-lid or a sheet of aluminium foil on satoimo and cover with lid. Bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minute until softened. Remove the lid and reduce some of the liquid, lightly shaking the pan on medium heat.
