I had lots of leftover potatoes and atsuage, so I made this dish.

While it's simmering, the liquid will reduce, but do not add more water. Stir-frying the potatoes first makes them less likely to break up when simmered. Recipe by Kajihara Ato

Steps

1

Cut the potatoes and atsuage into bite-size pieces. Soak the cut potatoes in water to remove bitterness. Crush the garlic.
2

Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add the ground pork and crushed garlic, and stir-fry over medium-high heat.
3

When the meat is crumbly and browned, add the potatoes and stir-fry for a further 2-3 minutes.
4

Add the ★ ingredients and when the miso is dissolved, add the atsuage and lightly stir everything together. Cover with the lid and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat.
5

When it's finished simmering, add the katakuriko dissolved in water. Stir to thicken and return to a simmer. It's done.

Tip: If you mix the miso with some sake first, it will dissolve more easily when you add it to the pot.
