Ingredients

Ingredient List:

  • 1 piece of kombu, large (edible kelp)
  • 1/2 wedge-cut head of leaf cabbage, Napa
  • 6 sliced, skinned chicken thighs, boneless
  • 2 diagonally sliced leeks
  • 1 peeled, cut into tiny pieces carrot, large
  • 3 1/2 oz. of sliced mushrooms, shiitake
  • 1 handful sprouting broccoli
  • Optional: glass noodles
  • 32 fl. oz. or less of chicken stock, light

For ponzu dipping sauce:

  • 1 3/4 fl. oz. of vinegar, brown rice
  • 1 3/ fl. oz. of lemon juice or yuzu
  • 1 lemon, grated zest only

Instructions

  • Lay kombu in casserole base. Cover with cabbage. This creates a base for the rest of the ingredients, making it easier to arrange them.
  • Divide the pot in your mind into six sections. Arrange noodles and four vegetable types over cabbage, keeping them apart from each other.
  • Pour stock gradually over till it has reached the top of noodles and veggies. Do not immerse them completely. Season them with salt. Cover. Bring to simmer.
  • Simmer for 7-10 minutes, till all is cooked completely through.
  • To prepare dipping sauce, combine ingredients listed above under ponzu sauce.
  • Pass around chopsticks and small bowls so everyone can help themselves.
  • Each person can dip the meat into the broth to cook it. Have dipping sauce handy.
