  3. Chop the chicken into bize-sized pieces. Season with the "A" ingredients.
  4. Prepare the koya-dofu according to the directions on the package. Drain. Cut each block into 6 pieces.
  5. Remove the stems of the reconstituted shiitake mushrooms, and halve each cap using a wide diagonal cut.
  6. Slice the lotus root into 8 mm slices. Soak in water with a little vinegar added. Sculpt the lotus root into a flower shape by rounding the edges above the holes. Cut slits between the holes as a guide.
  7. Use the back of a knife to scrape off the tough parts of the burdock root. Cut on a slant into 5 mm slices and soak in water.

  10. Slice the bamboo shoots into 5 cm long and 8 mm thick semi-circles.
  11. Remove the tough string that runs the length of the snow pea pod and parboil in salted (not listed in measured ingredients) water. Cut the top into a "V" shape.
  12. Heat the oils (vegetable and sesame) in a pan, brown the chicken on both sides, and set aside. Reserve the liquid the chicken marinated in to use later on.
  13. In the same pan, add the drained shiitake, lotus root, burdock, konnyaku and bamboo shoots and stir fry.
  14. Add the "B" ingredients and cover with a drop down lid. When steamed, add the "C" ingredients and marinating liquid from Step 12.
