Steps

1. Blanch the shirataki noodles for 2-3 minutes to remove impurities.
   🕒 00:50
2. Wash all vegetables except for the shiitake mushrooms and enoki mushrooms.
   🕒 00:56
3. Do not wash the shiitake mushrooms</b>; wipe the surface with a damp paper towel.
   🕒 01:01
4. Trim the tough ends of the shiitake mushroom stems. Cut in half if large.
   🕒 01:12
5. Slice the leek diagonally.
   🕒 01:24
6. Cut the napa cabbage into 4cm pieces. Slice the core diagonally.
   🕒 01:31
7. Trim the base of the enoki mushrooms and separate them into bite-sized clusters.
   🕒 01:42
8. Cut the tofu into 8 equal pieces.
   🕒 01:52
9. Cut the shirataki noodles in 1-2 places to make them easier to eat.
   🕒 02:04
10. Cut the beef (if using chuck roast) into 2 pieces. Use thinly sliced meat as is.
    🕒 02:11
11. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and melt the beef fat. If you don't have beef fat, use vegetable oil.
    🕒 02:22
12. Add the leek to the frying pan and lightly grill.
    🕒 02:32
13. Add the beef to the frying pan and cook until it just starts to change color. (Key Tip!) Do not overcook the meat, as it will become tough. It's okay if some parts are still red.
    🕒 02:42
14. Add the cooking sake, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce to the frying pan.
    🕒 03:01
15. Gently mix to combine the sauce with the meat.
    🕒 03:14
16. Add the tofu and shirataki noodles to the frying pan. (Key Tip!) Arrange the shirataki noodles away from the meat to prevent it from becoming tough, as they contain components that can harden meat.
    🕒 03:18
17. Add the core pieces of the napa cabbage, followed by the leaves.
    🕒 03:31
18. Add the shiitake mushrooms and enoki mushrooms to the frying pan.
    🕒 03:39
19. Add water and cover with a lid. (Key Tip!) Vegetables will release moisture, so don't worry if the liquid level seems low at this stage. Add more water if you are using fewer vegetables than specified.
    🕒 03:49
20. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the napa cabbage wilts. Gently mix with chopsticks so the sauce coats the cabbage. (Key Tip!) Tofu can break apart easily, so avoid touching it if it's well coated in sauce. Flip it if parts are not coated.
    🕒 04:06
21. Cover again and simmer for another 5-6 minutes.
    🕒 04:31
22. Serve and enjoy by dipping in beaten raw egg.
