- Add the water and seasonings together. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes. You may also use drop lid (otoshibuta) if you wish. This will soften the ingredients faster.
- When sauce almost dries up. Add the bonito flakes. Stir a little and you're done.
Notes
You may also pre boil the radish and konjac before simmering. If you cut the radish into cubes, you can soften it a little by boiling with a little salt for at least 5 minutes. This helps to absorb much flavour too. Boiling is believed also to make konjac absorb more flavor, plus removes the smell.
