Scale
12 oz (375g) white-fleshed fish fillets such as snapper or flathead
8 mussels, scrubbed and debearded
8 clams, well-scrubbed
12 jumbo shrimp (green king prawns), head and shells removed, tails intact, deveined
1/2 carrot, thinly sliced

8 fresh shiitake mushrooms
1/2 bunch (6oz/180 g) spinach

Arrange fish, shellfish, vegetables and tofu attractively on a large platter. This platter is placed on the table, and the ingredients are cooked at the table in a large pot on a portable burner or in an electric frying pan.
Fill pot or frying pan two-thirds full with boiling water and add the instant dashi. Bring stock to a boil.
