1/2 c Shrimp meats; deshelled
1/2 c Mussels or clams; deshelled

I've had this many times here in Japan but cant find the recipe typed
up anyplace. It's very close though to 'congee'. To serve this right,
you need a metal or very thick pottery pot with a lid and several
small bowls to serve it out in to each person. Heat the pot by
filling with hot water from the sink, and place the cover over it.

Place all the ingredients in a soup pot and let boil for 10 minutes,
then serve in the preheated dinner pot.

Add raw eggs to the dinner pot and let them cook in the liquid as you
serve dinner. How many is up to you, but 6 would be normal for a 12
person dish. As this is made to be served 8 people at a time, you'd
add 4 and next meal, another 4.

The meats are all pretty much precooked and all veggies are fine
chopped or shredded. The squid can be all just the left over
tentacles and that is actually perfect for using them up. If you do
not have octopus, use more squid. The reverse also works.

Excellent place for any leftover seafood type as long as it is deboned
first. Little balls of Kamaboko (fish paste) work really well here.
The key is lots of different things, not too much of any one.

Optional additions run into the hundreds but these are good ones:
Tofu in small cubes, mild white cheese added at the serving time
(small chunks that melt in the almost boiling serving dish as the raw
eggs cook), chili powder of choice at the serving table, edamame (soy
beans, fresh), spinach.

Serving suggestions: With hard crusty bread, hot tea, and fresh
cucumbers.
