  10. Get 800 ml Water
  11. Get 2 to 3 tablespoons Miso

Instructions to make Tonjiru (Japanese Pork Soup):
  1. Cut up the burdock root and put into a bowl of water with a little vinegar added. Cut the pork into 2 cm wide pieces. Cut the stem end off the shimeji mushrooms.
  2. Cut up the rest of the ingredients into bite-sized rectangular pieces. (De-grease the aburaage first by pouring boiling water over it).
  3. Heat up a pot and add the konnyaku. Stir fry until it makes squeaky sounds. (You can skip this step if you've parboiled the konnyaku.)
  4. Add the sesame oil to the pot and stir-fry the pork. When the color of the meat changes, add the vegetables and stir-fry.
