Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced or grated
  • 4 oz tofu, sliced into squares
  • 40 g enoki mushrooms, trimmed
  • 40 g shimeji mushrooms, base trimmed and separated
  • 1/3 cup bean sprouts
  • 80 g thinly sliced pork belly
  • 2 - 3 napa cabbage leaves
  • Optional toppings: additional chili crisp, roasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions
For the Broth:

Instructions

  1. In a deep, microwave-safe bowl (at least 2 – 3 inches tall), place the garlic, ginger, tofu, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and pork belly.
  2. Sprinkle the hondashi over the top, then drizzle with soy sauce and chili oil or chili crisp.
  3. Gently place the napa cabbage leaves over the top to create a sort of lid over all the ingredients. This helps trap steam and evenly cook everything underneath.
  4. Pour the 3/4 cup of water on top of the cabbage leaves.
  5. Place a microwave-safe plate on top of the bowl to completely cover everything. Microwave covered for 7 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it’ll be hot!). Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut the steamed napa cabbage into bite-sized pieces directly in the bowl. Mix everything together and enjoy as-is, or dip ingredients in extra chili oil for added kick.
