This dish is also known as ‘Iridori’ and will often contain chicken. We have added konnyaku, a jelly like product from the roots of a plant known as ‘devil’s tongue’. The mixture of all these vegetables looks very colourful. You should be able to get lotus root and burdock from a Chinese or Asian store; If you can’t find them, you can substitute tinned bamboo shoots for the lotus root and replace the burdock with a root vegetable like parsnip or carrot.

To enhance this dishes appearance, you can also garnish with cooked mangetout peas.
