Japanese Hot Pot Video

I found this video by accident... but it is mostly gluten free just substitute rice noodles instead of the udon noodles and gluten free soy sauce or tamari. Had such a laugh that it was "cooking with dog"(I am a dog trainer) but was wonderful, creative, nutritious cooking none the less! Enjoy!
