The meat will not stick to the bottom of the pot because of the thick broth, but that also makes it hard to pick up with chopsticks. So I skewered the meat to make it easy to take out of the pot. This is delicious with low-cal meat such as chicken tenders, shrimp, octopus, or seafood. The dashi broth is good for adding noodles or rice at the end to make "shime".

-Chop the vegetables finely.
-The broth is thick, so be careful and keep an eye on the heat.
-Thinly slice the Japanese leeks and shiitake mushrooms. You can use any vegetables or other ingredients you like, but if you want to add them without blanching first, choose vegetables that don't release a lot of scum. Lettuce, mizuna, and chrysanthemum greens will cook quickly. Recipe by putimiko

Steps

1

Cut the meat into bite size.
2

Rub the ◎ ingredients into the meat. Then sprinkle the katakuriko evenly on the meat.
3

Cut the Japanese leeks and skewer between the pieces of meat. Add oil to a frying pan and fry the skewers on both sides to seal in the umami flavor.
4

They'll boil in the pot later, so at this point, just cook the skewers until they're 60-70% done. You could use pork or beef instead of chicken. The skewers in the photo were made with pork shoulder.
5

Wash the taro root and microwave at 600 W for 5-6 minutes. Peel and cut in half. The size of the taro root will change cooking time so adjust for your microwave.
6

Divide the Chinese cabbage leaves from the stems. Roughly chop the leaves and cut the stems into thin strips, almost to a julienne, so they cook easily.
7

Cut the bok choy the same way as the Chinese cabbage. Julienne the carrots with a slicer or a knife. Cut the chikuwa into bite-size pieces.
8

Soak the kombu in water and make dashi stock, being careful not to let it boil. Then remove the kombu and ● ingredients for seasoning. Mix in the ▲ slurry to thicken the broth.
9

At Step 8, the broth may not seem very thick yet, but when you add the katakuriko-coated meat, it will thicken even more.
10

Add the hot pot ingredients and simmer. The broth will be thick, so add the ingredients little by little. Be careful not to let anything burn and do not add too many ingredients while it's cooking over high heat.
11

Serve in individual bowls. Eat with the ★ ingredients and enjoy. If the flavor of the broth gets too concentrated, add water.
12

For the "shime" (the end of the meal), boil udon noodles, harusame noodles, soba noodles, or somen noodles in the broth. Any kind of noodles go well. I would also recommend cooking mochi cakes by dipping them in the boiling broth ("shabu-shabu").
13

Of course, adding rice, eggs and green onions to the broth is also good. Top with shredded nori seaweed sheets or crushed sesame seeds if you like.
14

If you're using any ingredients that release scum or takes a long time to cook, blanch first. Add any ingredients you like.
