Zoni

Method

1. 1 Cook the dashi and season lightly with soy sauce and a pinch of salt.
2. 2 Slice carrots and radishes thinly and cook them in dashi until tender.
3. 3 Add the chopped chicken to the broth and cook until done, skimming off any foam to keep the broth clear.
4. 4 Bake the mochi separately until it puffs up and turns golden brown; do not cook it directly in the soup to prevent the soup from becoming too thick.
5. 5 Place the grilled mochi in a bowl, pour in the hot broth, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and grated orange peel.
