Ichibiki “Yasai no Umani” Simmered Vegetables in Umami

Six bite-sized ingredients — lotus root, taro, carrot, bamboo shoot, shiitake mushroom and burdock — are slowly simmered to perfection, absorbing the rich umami of bonito and kombu dashi. Easily stored at room temperature, this side dish makes a hearty and flavorful accompaniment to rice, fish or meat.
