Instructions
- Arrange all the hot-pot ingredients on their own plates and in their own ramekins. Set the plates and ramekins on the table with a portable gas burner.
- In a Dutch oven or hot-pot dish, bring the dashi, sake, soy sauce, mirin, garlic and pepper flakes to a simmer. Season the broth to taste with kosher salt.
- Transfer the Dutch oven or hot-pot dish to the portable burner (at the table). Return the broth to a simmer.
- Cook all the ingredients, except the udon, in the order listed (longest cooking time to shortest cooking time). Keep the broth simmering at all times. Add more stock as needed.
- Transfer cooked food to the serving plates, adding fresh broth as needed. Strain the broth and return it to a simmer. Add the udon noodles and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
