All-Purpose Winter Vegetable Mix for Rice and More

4 to 5 dried shiitake mushrooms, OR 4 fresh shiitake mushrooms, OR 6 to 8 button mushrooms

1 medium carrot

one 6-inch piece of burdock root (gobo) OR salsify, OR a medium parsnip

1 aburaage (fried bean curd), or 120g / 4 oz boneless skinless chicken (thigh is preferred but breast is ok), or an equivalent amount of firm vegetarian protein of your choice such as seitan, quorn, etc.

400ml / 1 ¾ U.S. cups of the shiitake mushroom soaking liquid, with added dashi stock if there’s not enough. If you aren’t using dried shiitake, use all dashi. You can also use water plus 1 teaspoon of dashi granules. If you don’t have any of the above, use your favorite vegetable stock.

1 tablespoon sake (omit if you don’t have this)

1 tablespoon mirin (use ½ tablespoon sugar if you don’t have this)

1 ½ tablespoon light soy sauce, OR 1 ½ tablespoon dark soy sauce

¼ teaspoon salt
