Cooking Steps

Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and soak them in water for about 5 minutes, then drain. Cut the onion into 1cm wide wedges and chop the carrots into irregular bite-sized pieces. Cut large pork pieces into easy-to-eat sizes.
Advice : Soaking potatoes in water removes excess starch and helps them hold their shape during cooking.
Soaking in water 5 minIngredientsPotatoes 300gOnion 100gCarrot 70gSliced pork 150g - 2
Cut the shirataki noodles into bite-sized lengths and boil in boiling water for about 1 minute to remove bitterness, then drain in a colander.
Advice : If you use pre-processed shirataki, just washing it with water is fine.
Boiling 1 minIngredientsShirataki noodles 100g - 3
Heat salad oil in a pot and sauté the pork. Once the color of the meat changes, add potatoes, onions, and carrots, and sauté until everything is coated in oil.
Advice : Sautéing the vegetables well allows the flavor of the pork fat to transfer to the vegetables, making it more delicious.

Add water, granulated dashi, shirataki, sugar, sake, mirin, and soy sauce. Skim off any foam once it boils. Cover with a drop lid and simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Advice : Letting it cool down once after turning off the heat allows the flavors to penetrate to the core of the ingredients.
