Method
Slice the leeks, halve the shiitake mushrooms, cut the Chinese cabbage and tofu into pieces, and arrange everything on a platter with the sliced beef.
Combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake and caster sugar in a jug to make the warishita sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or table-top hot pot and add a splash of the warishita sauce.
Add a few beef slices and cook for 1 minute, turning once, until just browned.
Add the leeks, cabbage, mushrooms, tofu and noodles, pour over the remaining warishita sauce, and simmer for 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Continue cooking the remaining beef in batches directly in the simmering sauce, checking each batch reaches 63°C with a meat thermometer.
Crack an egg into each bowl and beat lightly for dipping, then lift pieces from the pot straight into the egg to serve.
