"Buta jiru"---Pork miso soup 01/04/09


"Buta jiru" Pork miso soup is so popular soup dish for Japanese boy and men.
Each Mom have own recipe for "buta jiru" for their boys.

I like to make "butajiru" for myself in these cold days.
I sprinkle a lot of spicy red chili powder for the soup, that make my body so warm.

If You can cook this "butajiru" for your boy friend, you will get a special A point from him.
I don't know why, but most "Men" love this soup.


"Butajiru" 5oz pork (thin slice), 2 inch White radish (half moon) 1/2 carrot (round), 4 shiitake mushroom (cut in quarters) 1/4 tofu, 2 leaves green onion (edge) 1 potato (bite size) 2 Tbsp sesame oil, 3 cup water, 1 Tbsp dashi powder, 2oz miso paste, soy sauce.


Direction: Heat( medium) + A pan + oil ~ stir fry the pork ~ turn to good color ~ add all vegetables except green onion ~ stir fry ~ add the water ~ boil ~ remove the foam ~ simmer (make sure potato is cooked ) ~ add the tofu ~ low heat ~ add the miso paste into the soup with a small strainer ~ add the dashi powder and small quantity of soy sauce ~ sprinkle the green onion ~ done! Please don't forget spicy red chili pepper.


Enjoy.

Hello Keiko!

I live in Brazil, am married to a Japanese man who indeed likes buta jiru or satsuma jiru. I never thought of using shiitake in it! Thanks for the recipe.
