Method:

1. If using dried mushrooms, soak in hot water for about 15 minutes. Drain the mushrooms and squeeze out any excess water before use.

2. Arrange prepared ingredients on a serving platter. Break 1 egg each into 4 small serving bowls.   

3. Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside. Arrange ingredients in four small batches mushrooms, beef, shirataki noodles or glass noodles, tofu and spinach into a hotpot on a table-top hotplate. 

4. Heat the oil into a hotpot on a table-top hotplate. Stir-fry the ingredients in batches, stirring continuously until foods are cooked to desired doneness.

5. Diners can then remove cooked meat or vegetable from the hotpot, using the egg as a dipping sauce for the hot food. If you prefer, use ponzu dipping sauce instead.

6. Replenish the cooking hotpot with remaining ingredients as needed.
