Satoimo & Chicken ‘Nimono’

‘Nimono’ is a simmered dish and it is one of the typical Japanese dishes. What I cooked for dinner last night was ‘Nimono’ of Satoimo (Taro Potato) and Chicken as main ingredients with carrots and shiitake. They were simmered in dashi stock flavoured with soy sauce, sugar and mirin. It is a very easy dish.
My secret of cooking ‘Nimono’ is to STOP cooking when vegetables are tender enough because resting in the sauce helps ingredients absorb the flavour. Then you cook again until the sauce thickens.
