In Japan, this dish is normally cooked in a Japanese ceramic cooking pot (do-nabe) which is set directly over the burner. If you don't have a do-nabe, you can use a teflon-coated pot as a substitute. Spread the miso paste around inside the top 5 centimeters of the pot.

Pour the sea tangle soup stock into the pot and bring to a boil. Add half of the vegetables, mushrooms and tofu to the soup. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

Add half of the oysters. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. With chopsticks or a spoon, gradually scrap off some of the miso paste from the sides of the pot. If a stronger taste is desired, you can scrap off all of the paste.
