TO SERVE
Wipe & trim mushrooms & cut a crisscross pattern on the caps with a knife.
Slice scallions diagonally into 2" lengths. Arrange the meat attractively on a round platter, so that each slice can be easily picked up with chopsticks or a fondue fork. Arrange vegetables on a second platter.
Fill a hot pot or nabe pot ⅔ full of dashi set on a burner on the table.
Each diner picks up a piece of meat from the serving platter and swishes it around in the simmering broth until the red meat becomes pink, or cooked to the degree desired. Diners may alternate between meat and vegetables. The tofu breaks easily, so be careful when adding it to the pot. Diners eat from the pot, dipping the food into the dipping sauces which are placed in individual cups at each person's place.
