Warm Up Your Frozen Soul With This ULTIMATE Tonjiru Recipe

The tonjiru is one of Japan's best comfort soups, often eaten during the cold winters (but great for any season!). In the most simplest terms, it's a miso soup with pork and vegetables, but it's so much more than that!
With a generous use of root vegetables, the tonjiru is filled with nutrients and health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory qualities and digestive improvements. Oh, and it's absolutely delicious filled with umami, sure to warm up the coldest of souls.

[@brennenfrank1743]

I just finished making this dish. It was just as delicious as it looked. The konnyaku didn't melt though. Was it supposed to?

[@ChihirosJapaneseKitchen]

Super happy to hear that! Well actually, I forgot to put the konnyaku into the bowl and was too exhausted to refilm everything, its not supposed to melt😆
