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 king oyster mushroom.
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 king oyster mushroom slices and cook for 1 minute, turning once, until browned.
Add the leeks, cabbage, shiitake, tofu and noodles, pour over the remaining warishita sauce, and simmer for 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Continue cooking the remaining tofu and mushroom in batches directly in the simmering sauce until heated through and glossy.
Crack an egg into each bowl and beat lightly for dipping, then lift pieces from the pot straight into the egg to serve.
