Lately I have cooked this dish repeatedly, because it is delicious, and it is absolutely easy to prepare. I cooked it in the kitchen and took the whole pot to the table to let everyone serve themselves. You can cook this dish on the dinner table, and that’s the proper way to enjoy Nabe (Hot Pot) dishes.

this was delicious! I made it yesterday and it was so comforting. I didn’t have any green vegetables in the house so I used a thinly sliced carrot instead.
The only thing I struggle with is how the recipe says 1/2 a cabbage. At least where I live, cabbaged come in different sizes so sometimes I have difficulties trying to size up whether my cabbage is enough for a recipe or not. For example, last month when I bought a cabbage they were roughly 1.5kg each, but the one I bought yesterday is 3kg! So if possible, it would be nice to have weights for some of the key vegetables.

I understand and I apologise the recipe is confusing. I will weigh the amount next time when I cook this dish, but the amount of Cabbage can be any amount that is enough for 4 servings and you can cook as much as you want to eat.
