Satoimo Simmered in Dashi

This traditional Japanese dish features satoimo, or taro root, simmered in a flavorful dashi broth until tender.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Peel the satoimo and rinse under cold water to remove any residual dirt.
Place the satoimo in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
Drain the satoimo and return to the pot. Add the dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the satoimo are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Serve the satoimo warm, drizzled with the remaining sauce.
