From the Test Kitchen

Umami—sometimes called "the fifth taste"—is an incredibly important part of Japanese cooking. It captures the savory character of many ingredients, including the fermented flavor of miso paste that forms the base for tonight’s soup. To complement the delicate miso, we're simmering the broth with dried lime (a brine-cooked lime allowed to dry in the sun) to add a subtle, refreshing citrus flavor to the broth. Marinated purple daikon radish—a crisp, visually stunning variety—rounds out the flavors in the bowl and serves as a pleasant contrast to delightfully slurpable udon noodles.

1 Prepare the ingredients & marinate the radish:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a small pot of water to boiling on high. Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Peel the carrots and thinly slice into rounds. Cut off and discard the root end of the bok choy; thinly slice the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Roughly chop the cashews. Cut off and discard the ends of the radish. Peel the radish; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Place the radish in a bowl with the sesame oil; season with salt and pepper.
