Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 head napa cabbage
  • 1 lb pork belly slices (or any shabu thinly sliced meat)
  • Shimeji mushroom
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp hondashi
  • 34 cups hot water

Instructions

  1. Cut the cabbage in half or quarter lengthwise, depending on the size of your napa cabbage. Peel and wash each napa cabbage leaf.
  2. Layer pork belly slices between cabbage leaves. Repeat this process until all cabbage and pork are used up. Then cut the stack into 4 equal sections.
  3. Take a large shallow pot and arrange the cabbage and pork layers in a circular pattern. Make sure to pack them in tightly. Insert ginger slices in between the layers. Add mushroom or any other vegetables you like in the center of the pot.
  4. To prepare the broth, add soy sauce, mirin, salt, hondashi, and hot water in a bowl. Mix until salt and hondashi dissolved. Slowly pour the broth into the pot.
  5. Cover the pot and bring to the broth to a boil. Once boiling, bring it down to a simmer and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the pork is cooked through.
  6. Serve hot with rice or noodle, and dipping sauce. Enjoy!
