  • 3. Stir-fry the carrot in oil (not listed in ingredients), then stir-fry the chicken.

  • 5. Add the napa cabbage core, leaves, fried tofu, green onions and stir-fried hon-shimeji mushrooms to the mixture in step 4 and simmer.

  • 6. Once the vegetables are cooked, season with soy sauce and sake, and carefully add in the raw Himokawa noodles.

  • 7. Once the Himokawa noodles are cooked, add the boiled Japanese mustard spinach.
