Great dish Willy........This is one of those dishes that takes someone who really likes to cook. It can take up to 2 days to make the Kombu Dashi (seaweed broth) and Tare (miran, sake, soy sauce) plus the meats and veggies. Then you have to blend it all together. Time consuming but so worth it in the end. The secret to this dish is to make enough broth to be able to freeze for later.
