Steps

---

1. Cut the pea shoots into thirds; thinly slice the scallions; slice the garlic.

2. Mix water, mirin, and sake together, set aside.

3. Take a saucepan, heat over medium-low heat, add sesame oil and garlic slices, sauté until fragrant, then turn off the heat.

4.　Layer 1/3 of the pea shoots on the bottom of the pot, then arrange a layer of pork on top. Repeat with another layer of 1/3 pea shoots followed by another layer of pork.

5. After layering, spread red miso along the edge of the pot, then pour in the mixture of mirin, water, and sake that was prepared earlier. Cover the pot with a lid (refer to the small image) and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes.

6. After uncovering, add the remaining 1/3 of the pea shoots and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Cover again and cook for 1 minute before serving.

7. When eating, you can continue simmering over low heat. This not only helps maintain the temperature but also allows the miso around the edges to slowly blend completely with the broth.
