This is one of those ‘old family recipes’ that I got from my Aunty Mitzi, who is my mom’s twin sister! This dish is like a simple nishime (Japanese simmered vegetables) and uses only 3 main ingredients, unlike the tons of vegetables in nishime. I love the knotted konbu (seaweed) in the nishime which has been simmered and soaked up all the juices of the broth. I am guilty of picking them out in a buffet which serves nishime. This has lots of konbu! It also has pork and gobo (burdock root). The simmering liquid is the same as when making nishime.
Thanks Aunty Mitzi! This is a wonderful, traditional Japanese dish that is so ‘oishii‘ (delicious)!
