Ton-jiru... this is the best winter dish to have in Japan. But I think it is much better if you could have it anytime at home. I hope this will surprise you with delicious winter comfort food of Japan.

Steps

1

Here are the ingredients.
2

Cut all the vegetables. The amount of vegetables can carry based on your preference. There are no right or wrong answers in this cooking, so don't worry about it:)
3

Cook the thin sliced pork in a soup pot with sesame oil until fully cooked.
4

Add the cut vegetables and cook with medium temperature until the vegetables are softened. * I use a lid here to close the temperature in the pot to heat up the vegetables faster.
5

Add water into the pot until the vegetables are submerged.
6

While waiting for the water to get boiled, shred the ginger. I recommend Japanese daikon/ ginger shredder that you could buy either online, 100 yen shop, Asian grocery stores. Then, I use this time to wash all my dishes:)
7

This is how it should look when you have enough water in the pot.
8

Use a spoon and a ladle to dissolve the miso while both are in the pot. Add as much miso you need until it tastes less "watery".
9

It should look like this color by now.
10

Add the shredded ginger. I love ginger, so I usually put a lot:) then stir...

DONE! Itadakimasu!
