1 lb. very thinly sliced beef (sirloin, preferably grain-fed; beef-fed Kobe beef is the best; I mean very thin, less than 1/16-inch)
8 shiitake mushrooms
1/2 lb. enoki mushrooms
1/2 lb. shimeji mushrooms
1/2 lb. shirataki
1 lb. Chinese cabbage
1/2 lb. watercress (to substitute for spring chrysanthemum leaves)
1 lb. tofu, cut in 1-inch cubes, pressed and drained
any other ingredients you want to use

In a small bowl, you should have soy sauce and lemon juice 2 to 1, as a dipping sauce.

Simply take one of the items; swish it around in the hot water for from a few seconds for beef to a few minutes for vegetables. Serve with hot steamed rice.
