- ½ tsp Dashi Powder

Preparation
- Step 1Prepare the vegetables: cut onion into thin slices, carrot into bite-sized pieces, potato into bite-sized pieces, and spinach into quarters. Boil the spinach in water then drain and set aside.
- Step 2Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and sauté until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Step 3Add olive oil to the pot. Sauté onion, potato, and carrot until slightly softened. Return the chicken to the pot.
- Step 4Sift all-purpose flour into the pot and stir to coat the ingredients. Add water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Step 5Add milk and dashi powder to the pot. Dissolve miso paste into the stew, stirring gently. Season with salt to taste and add black pepper.
- Step 6Add the blanched spinach to the stew and mix gently to combine. Serve hot.
Notes
- Chicken thigh, breast, or tenders all work well for this recipe
- Use dashi powder like Hondashi for authentic Japanese flavor
- Miso paste should be dissolved directly in the stew rather than pre-mixed
