Satsuma soup - Satsumajiru

Japanese: 薩摩汁 - さつまじる
Satsuma soup - Satsumajiru

A type of miso soup. In the past, chicken was used as a local dish in Kagoshima Prefecture, but now it has been replaced by pork and bonito stock, and is made all over the country. In the past, fierce Satsuma chickens were equipped with sharp blades and forced to fight, and the dead chickens were immediately chopped into chunks and boiled with daikon radish, burdock, garlic, taro, konjac, fried tofu, etc., and seasoned with miso. The current way to make it is to shred pork, add daikon radish, carrots, burdock, konjac, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, and sometimes sweet potatoes. Cut the vegetables to bite size pieces. Put bonito stock in a pot and heat it, add pork first, then add vegetables in order of how hard it is to cook, and boil for a while, then season with miso.

Japanese:

みそ汁の一種。古くは鹿児島県の郷土料理で鶏肉を使っていたが、いまは豚肉とかつお節のだし汁に変わり、各地でつくられている。昔、気性の激しい薩摩鶏(さつまどり)に鋭い刃物をつけて闘鶏させ、死んだ鶏はただちにぶつ切りにして、ダイコン、ゴボウ、ニンニク、サトイモ、こんにゃく、油揚げなどといっしょに煮てみそ味を加えたものである。現在の作り方は、豚肉のせん切りに、ダイコン、ニンジン、ゴボウ、こんにゃく、シイタケ、ネギ、場合によってはサツマイモも加える。野菜は適当な大きさに切っておく。鍋(なべ)にかつお節のだし汁を入れて火にかけ、最初に豚肉を入れ、次に煮えにくい順に野菜を加えてしばらく煮てから、みそで調味する。
