👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Prepare the Broth Base: In a large pot or Japanese donabe (clay pot), combine the water (or dashi stock) and the piece of kombu. Let it steep for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor). Just before serving, remove the kombu (if it boils, it can become bitter). You can add a small piece of katsuobushi (bonito flakes) to the water for a richer dashi if desired, then strain.
⏱️ 30 minutes (plus steeping time) - 2
Arrange Ingredients: Artfully arrange the thinly sliced beef, tofu cubes, napa cabbage, and any optional vegetables on separate platters. Ensure the beef is easily accessible. Place the platters around the portable burner at the table.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Set Up the Hot Pot: Place the pot with the prepared broth over a portable induction burner or gas stove at the center of the table. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer (around 85°C / 185°F). Do not let it boil vigorously.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Cook the Beef: Each diner takes a slice of beef with their chopsticks and gently swishes it in the simmering broth for about 5-10 seconds, or until the color changes from red to light brown. Avoid overcooking.
⏱️ continuous (per slice) - 5
Dip and Enjoy: Once cooked, dip the beef into your preferred sauce (ponzu or sesame sauce) and eat immediately. Continue swishing beef slices as desired.

Cook Vegetables and Tofu: After enjoying the beef, diners can add vegetables and tofu to the broth to cook. Cook until tender and to your liking. These can also be dipped in the sauces.
⏱️ continuous - 7
Conclude the Meal: Once all ingredients are consumed, the flavorful broth can be enjoyed on its own or used to cook the optional rice or udon noodles. Cook the noodles directly in the broth until done, then serve in bowls.
