Step 1

Clean the fish and clams (or shrimp). Clean the vegetables. Cut the cabbage and radish into bite sizes. Thinly slice the scallions. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch thick small pieces.(The tofu is inadvertently omitted in this photo.)

Step 2

Add the broth to a medium size pot along with the cabbage, radish, ginger, and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Cook until the vegetables turn soft, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Drop in the fish, clams and tofu. When it comes to a boil again, reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the clams are open and the fish is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. (Do not overcook. The fish will continue to cook in the boiling hot broth while being served and eaten.)

Step 4

Add the watercress or crown daisy leaves, enoki mushrooms, and scallions. Turn the heat off. Serve piping hot with the optional lemon slice on top.
