  1. 1

    Boil water for parboiling pork. Cut the pork butt into very thin slices, then into narrow strips 2-3 mm / 0.1 in. wide and 4 cm / 1.5 in. long. Place these in the boiling water just briefly, only until color changes. Remove and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Julienne the boiled bamboo shoot and carrot in 4 cm / 1.5 in. lengths.

  3. 3

    Scrub to remove dirt from burdock root. Julienne and soak in water for 5 minutes, then pat dry.

  4. 4

    Remove stems from the shiitake mushrooms and thinly slice the caps. Parboil briefly and then drain. Trim and string the snow peas; blanch for 1 minute, place in cold water briefly and drain. Cut diagonally to the same size as the other vegetables.

  5. 5

    Place the dashi stock, soy sauce and salt in a pot. Add all the ingredients except for the snow peas. Cook over medium heat until all the ingredients are cooked through. Add the snow peas and then immediately remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Serve the soup in individual bowls and sprinkle with black pepper.
