Boiled Tofu for Hotpot

1. 1

   Cut the mizuna into 4 equal portions, and set aside.

2. 2

   Wipe clean the kombu slices with a damp, tightly wrung out kitchen towel.

3. 3

   Cut several slices into the kombu with a pair of scissors, and place in your earthenware pot.

4. 4

   Add enough water to cover the tofu.

5. 5

   Slice the tofu into bite-sized pieces (this time, I cut one block into 6 portions).

6. 6

   After the kombu seaweed has softened, place the tofu in the water, add salt, then turn on the heat.

7. 7

   Taking care not to let the water boil, wait for the tofu pieces to warm up.

8. 8

   When they start to waver in the water and have been heated through, add mizuna (or chrysanthemum greens).

9. 9

   Once the vegetables are cooked through, you're done!

    Garnish with your desired toppings.

11. 11
