Heat Kelp Water and Mix Dipping Sauces for Shabu Shabu

In a donabe, which is large clay pot, add water and sake to 2/3 full. Add kelp and soak it for 30 minutes. Bring the kelp water to almost to the boil. Take out the kelp. Kudzukiri, I soaked in water for 2 hours. Nice and soft, so easy to cook it.

Making yuzu soy dipping sauce: mix all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Making peanut sesame dipping sauce: mix all the ingredients and mix well.

I’m going to show you how to prep garnishes. Scallions, take off the stems, thinly sliced. This is the Daikon radish. Peel first. I use a grater. Red Pepper.
