How to make it
※Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in water to rehydrate, and separate the mushrooms into pieces.
  1. Place the dashi and the rehydrated shiitake mushroom soaking liquid into a pot, heat it, and adjust the flavor with ingredient A.
  2. Add the mushrooms, pickled mustard greens, pork belly, and rehydrated shiitake mushrooms (cut into bite-sized pieces) to the pot from step 1 and simmer. *You can also add tofu for extra flavor if you like.
  3. Once everything is cooked through, it's finished.
    It's delicious as is, but making your own sauce to suit your taste is also part of the fun!
  4. Add the finishing noodles and bring to a boil.

This hot pot is also a favorite of my 3-year-old daughter. Children can enjoy it even without the sauce, as it's delicious on its own.

Adults can make their own favorite sauces and enjoy experimenting with different combinations.

It's also delicious if you blend everything together, just like in authentic Taiwan.

〜Emi Uto's favorite points〜

She loves that it has a stylish body like a dish and can be placed directly on the heat.It pairs well with the dishes on the table, and since it is stackable, it is also easy to store.
