Easy Kenchinjiru-Style Soup

This is a quick and easy soup made with ingredients that cook fast, so you can skip sautéing. The recipe uses a soy sauce base, but you can also use miso if you prefer.
Background of this recipe:
Because I have high blood pressure, our family tries to avoid miso soup as much as possible. While I love authentic kenchinjiru with burdock root and taro, this light, soy sauce-based soup is our go-to because it’s so quick to make.

Steps
- 1
Cut the daikon and carrot into half-moon slices about 1/8 inch (4mm) thick. Cut the fried tofu into strips. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and break them apart by hand. Slice the green onion diagonally.

Add the water, daikon, and carrot to a pot and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam, then add the soup stock granules and sake. Cover the pot loosely and simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes.
- 3
Once the daikon is tender, add the fried tofu, mushrooms, and soy sauce. Stir gently, then crumble the tofu by hand into the pot. Simmer for about 5 more minutes.

Taste and add a little salt if needed. Add the green onion, cook briefly until just tender, then drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
