Method

  1. 1 Only use pufferfish that has been prepared and gutted by a certified chef; absolutely do not prepare it at home.
  2. 2 Soak the kombu in a pot of cold water for 30 minutes, then bring it to a near-boiling point before removing it from the water.
  3. 3 Add the bones and thick cuts of meat first, then simmer to make a flavorful broth.
  4. 4 Add the Chinese cabbage, tofu, and mushrooms, and cook until the vegetables are tender.
  5. 5 Dip the thin slices of fish into the pot for a few seconds, then dip them in ponzu sauce mixed with grated radish.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 47 min

    Replace step 2: rotate the kombu in water in a heat-resistant pot at 700 W for 8 minutes, stopping just before boiling, then remove the kombu. Keep steps 3 to 5 the same; the pufferfish must be pre-processed by a certified professional.
