# Steps:
01 - Combine broth, soy sauce, miso paste, garlic, and ginger in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and maintain for 10 minutes to infuse flavors. Strain out solids if desired, then drizzle with sesame oil.
02 - Divide cooked and drained noodles evenly among four individual heatproof bowls or mini hot pots.
03 - Organize prepared proteins and vegetables on separate serving platters for convenient guest access and self-service preparation.
04 - Pour hot broth into each bowl over the noodles, filling approximately two-thirds full. Position each bowl on a portable burner at the dining table.
05 - Allow each guest to add preferred proteins and vegetables directly to their bowl. Cook in the simmering broth until desired doneness: beef and shrimp require 1-2 minutes, chicken 2-4 minutes, and tofu and vegetables according to preference.
06 - Present dipping sauces and garnishes on the side, enabling each guest to customize their broth and add final flavor elements to their bowl.
