Instructions
-
Cut the chicken thigh into large bite-sized pieces. Slice the carrot into 1 cm thick pieces and, if desired, twist them into a plum shape. Peel the taro and cut into 1.5 cm thick hexagonal pieces. Scrape the burdock root with the back of a knife and cut into 3 cm lengths. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in water to rehydrate.

-
In a kakugama (or a heavy-bottomed pot), combine all ingredients except soy sauce (including the soaking liquid from the shiitake mushrooms). Heat over medium heat. Once it comes to a boil, skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Test the taro with a bamboo skewer; when it pierces easily, add soy sauce and adjust the seasoning to taste.
