Method
Step 1 of 5
Layer the sliced meat into the napa cabbage by placing one slice between each of the leaves.
Step 2 of 5
Cut each napa cabbage wedge into 3-4 pieces each about 2 to 2½ inches (5-6 cm) long.
Step 3 of 5
Start packing the cabbage leaves in a pot and work your way toward the centre from the outer edges of the pot. Make sure that you pack the pot tightly as the layers will become loose once the ingredients start cooking.
Step 4 of 5
Add the broth into the pot. Cook on medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until napa cabbage is tender.
Step 5 of 5
Enjoy with Japanese rice and dip in ponzu sauce.
