Satoimo & Chicken ‘Nimono’

Soak Dried Whole Shiitake in water, and clean when soft, then drain. Prepare Carrots and cut them into similar size as 'Satoimo'. Cut Chicken fillets also in 'Satoimo' size.

Place Carrot and Shiitake in a pot and add Dashi Stock or Water to just cover the vegetables. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Add Soy Sauce, Sugar, Mirin and Satoimo, then bring back to the boil, then add Chicken. Simmer until chicken are cooked, then stop cooking and rest for 1 hour or so if you have time.

Cook again over high heat until the liquid thickens or required flavour is achieved.
