Miso soup is great anytime of the year, but in colder seasons, I like to make something heavier and heartier, like adding more vegetables and sliced of pork and transfom it into a tonjiru. Some of the more typical vegetables in a tonjiru are carrot, daikon, sweet potato, and burdock root.

  5. Add the Atsuage (or tofu) and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the condiments (A) to dissolve miso.

Unlike miso soup, which usually contains things like seaweed and tofu, tonjiru instead includes many hearty root vegetables. It also contains shiitake mushrooms, which not only have a nice flavor but are known for their many medicinal qualities. The pork belly adds a lot of substance and flavor to the dish.
