Notes
You can have fun with the dipping sauces, use anything you enjoy eating! The same goes with the ingredients for the yosenabe, you can add your own mix of veggies, even flavor the soup however you want. For example, I like to add kimchi to mine sometimes to spice up the pot and turn it into a Korean meal!
