12 cups

6 bunch

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mince scallions. Set aside until the end.

* Step 2

In a extra large pot, high heat, add water and chicken, shiitake mushrooms, abura age, (bite sized cut) and dashi pack. Heat until it’s boiled and turn it to medium-low after it.

* Step 3

Peel carrots and cut into a tooth pick shape. And add to the pot. Turn the heat to medium.

* Step 4

Peel daikon radish and cut the same shape as carrots. Add to the pot.

* Step 5

Shave (not peel - the skin has lots of nutrients) the burdock roots using the dull edge of a knife and cut the same shape as carrots. To avoid discoloring, in a small bowl, put the cut burdocks into a cold water with 1 tsp white vinegar for 2 minutes. Rinse with cold water couple times. Add to the pot.

* Step 6

Cut cabbages into the similar shape as others. Add to the pot.

* Step 7

Thinly slice onion. Add to the pot.

* Step 8

Peel the edge of snap peas. Add to the pot.

* Step 9

Remove the chicken from the pot and cut into bite shapes. (It’s ok if it’s not cooked at this point. It will be cooked by the end). Return to the pot.

* Step 10

Remove shiitake mushrooms from the pot and slice them and return to the pot.

* Step 11

Turn the heat to high and let it boil. Make sure all the ingredients become clear.

* Step 12

Remove scums from the soup

* Step 13

Add soy sauce, sake, miso and mentsuyu, keep the heat high. If it start boiling,turn the heat to low. We don’t want to have it bubbling hot because it ruins the flavor.

* Step 14

Drop eggs into the soup pot. (If you like half boiled soft egg, it takes 7 minutes).

* Step 15

(If you have mochi). Add mochi 2 minutes before eggs are done. The sauce is done ✅

* Step 16

Cook the noodles. In a large pot, put soba noodle into a boiling water. After it’s cooked, strain and rinse with cold water. (Rinsing with cold water will avoid over cooking and also remove the stickiness). Reserve the hot water and start boil the water again. Keep the cooked noodles in the cold water until you are ready to serve.

* Step 17

Right before you serve, dip the rinsed noodle into the (reserved) hot water to make noodle to be warm. Strain. Place the noodles into the serving bowl then pour the soup over.
