👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe

1. Trim the bottom of the napa cabbage. Layer cabbage, perilla leaves, and thinly sliced beef in that order, stacking them neatly. Then cut into sections.

2. Line the bottom of a freezer-safe container with mung bean sprouts.

3. Place the stacked cabbage, perilla, and beef sections upright around the edges of the container.

4. Add mushrooms to the center of the container.

5. Add 1 broth cube, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp fish sauce, and 1 tsp minced garlic to the container, then freeze.

6. When ready to cook, place the frozen kit into a pot, add enough water to cover about two-thirds of the contents, then bring it to a boil.

7. Mix the sauce ingredients and use it as a dipping sauce for the nabe.

📌 Cooking Tips

• Using broth coin eliminates the need for additional seasonings while adding depth to the flavor.

• For a spicier sauce, add wasabi or mustard according to your preference.
