I slightly rearranged the chicken stew recipe that my mother-in-law taught me.
My mother always asks me to make this for her.

The key is to cut all of the ingredients into same-sized chunks.
For those who prefer it concentrated, increase the soy sauce to 4 tablespoons and the mirin to 2 tablespoons.
Be sure to let the stew cool in the pot. Recipe by Puru berry

Steps

1

Chop the burdock root into chunks. While preparing the other vegetables, let the burdock soak in water to remove the astringent taste.
2

Chop the carrot into chunks.
3

Slice the chikuwa diagonally.
4

Cut the lotus root into 2.5 cm chunks.
5

Use a spoon or your hands to cut the konnyaku into bite-sized pieces.
6

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
7

If using snow peas, cut off the fibrous ends, sprinkle with salt, and boil for about 20 seconds.
8

Put the chicken in the frying pan skin down, fry on medium-high heat until the surfaces are lightly browned. The skin will release oil, so there's no need for oil extra.
9

Add in the rest of the ingredients. Stir-fry until the oil from the chicken coats the other ingredients.
10

Stir in the ＊ ingredients. Stir-fry and then simmer on medium-high heat until the liquid almost completely evaporates. It will take about 10-15 minutes.
11

When there is a lot of liquid, instead of constantly stirring, shake the frying pan to flip over the ingredients once every 1 minute. When the liquid reduces slightly, thoroughly fry.
12

Swirl in sesame oil as a finishing touch and blend it in. Turn off the heat. Cover with aluminum foil as a lid and leave it as is for 30 minutes. If possible, let it sit until cooled.

It's best to let the flavors meld before serving, so let it cool first.
