Cut a head of napa cabbage into quarters.

Keeping the core intact, gently wash the layers of cabbage leaves. Make sure to drain and shake out as much water as possible. If any leaves naturally come off during this process, keep them to the side. They can be used to stuff any gaps in the dish during the assembling process.

At the center, place your mushrooms

Make sure all the layers are tightly packed....

Make sure all the layers are tightly packed. If there are gaps, stick in the cabbage leaves that fell off during the washing and assembling process. You can also use mushrooms, I like beech or enoki.

Pour the dashi soup broth over the layers....

Turn the heat to medium high and bring the pot to a boil. Skim off any fat that foams to the surface.

Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cabbage leaves are soft and the pork has turned tan-white.
