Tonjiru

description Tonjiru Overview

Tonjiru, also known as butajiru, is a traditional Japanese soup consisting of pork slices and a diverse mixture of vegetables simmered in a miso-based broth. What distinguishes it from standard miso soup is its hearty and substantial nature, typically incorporating ingredients such as daikon radish, carrots, burdock root, taro, and tofu. The rendered fat from the cooked pork adds depth and richness to the dish, making it a highly nutritious meal. It is a popular comfort food commonly prepared in Japanese households during the colder winter months.
