2. Peel carrot and cut into thin sticks. Scrub the burdock root with a brush (no need to peel) and cut into thin shreds (Soak them in water to remove the strong taste). Remove stems of shiitake mushrooms and slice thinly. Cut abura-age and chikuwa into short strips.
3. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, then put carrot and burdock root and stir fry for 2~3 mins and put shiitake mushrooms and saute. Add okara and cook thoroughly.
4. Put abura-age, chikuwa and the * ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium ~ high heat, then lower the heat, and continue to simmer until the liquid is almost gone.
5. Top with shredded leek to finish.
6. For your reference: About dashi katsuo or niboshi or konbu dashi or mix is also tasty!
