When beef begins to turn color, add a small amount of warishita broth, add some of the vegetables and other ingredients. As the ingredients are cooked, the diners serve themselves from the pan; the cooked food is dipped into a lightly whisked egg in an individual bowl. Add more ingredients as the food is eaten. Add warishita as it boils off. If warishita is all gone, sake or hot-water can be substituted.
