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.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 38 min

    Replace step 4: Bake the mochi in an air fryer at 190 degrees for 6 minutes, flipping at the 3rd minute and removing when puffed up and golden brown. Keep the mochi in the bowl before pouring the soup over it as in step 5.
