Ingredients

1kg chicken with bones

Soup stock

600g chicken bone

2000cc water

Pinch of UMAMI

50g chicken liver

50g chicken gizzards

1 block tofu

1/2 bunch shungiku/kikuna (chrysanthemum) leaves

4 shiitake mushrooms

1/4 head of Chinese cabbage

150g cauliflower

Ponzu soy sauce (sauce containing soy sauce and vinegar or citrus juice)

20g sliced konegi leek

Momiji oroshi

100g grated radish

2 red peppers

4 rice cakes

Preparation

Rinse chicken bones in hot water. Add the cold water to the pot and boil over high heat, skim off any foam, and simmer until the liquid is reduced to 1/3. While simmering, take chicken bones out of the pot, grind with a pestle, and put back into the pot. When the soup turns milky, strain.

Chop chicken into pieces (about 50g), and place in a deep pot. Add hot water to twice the depth of the chicken and simmer over high heat while skimming off any foam for 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave for 30 minutes, so that the bone can be removed from the chicken easily.

Shave chicken liver and gizzards thinly with a knife, let bleed, boil, and then drain. Chop vegetables and tofu into chunks, arrange on a plate, and serve with momiji oroshi and sliced konegi leek.

Put (2) into the earthen pot, and add stock (1) and the meat (3). While simmering, enjoy ingredients in ponzu soy sauce. Add tofu and vegetables to the pot, and enjoy the dish while it simmers over low heat in the middle of the dining table.
