- Dashi stock — If you cannot find dashi stock, you can substitute it with a combination of vegetable or chicken broth and a dash of soy sauce for a similar umami flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavor of the broth, you can add a piece of kombu (dried kelp) while simmering.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences by adding more soy sauce or salt if desired.
- For a vegetarian version, you can replace the meat with tofu or mushrooms.
Serving advice
Serve the Dango-jiru as a main course accompanied by steamed rice and a side of pickled vegetables for a complete Japanese meal.
Presentation advice
