Once the wontons are made, this hot pot is really fast to prepare, especially since it takes very short time for the wontons to cook.

To make this dish. I like to use my super cool extra-light weight handleless donabe, "Yu Kizeto". It's a real simple soothing dish, with dashi broth, wontons, and shaved daikon.
