<P> The dish was originally made with thinly sliced beef , but some versions use pork , crab , chicken , lamb , duck , or lobster . Most often , ribeye steak is used , but less tender cuts , such as top sirloin , are also common . A more expensive meat , such as wagyū , may also be used . It is usually served with tofu and vegetables , including Chinese cabbage , chrysanthemum leaves , nori ( edible seaweed ) , onions , carrots , shiitake mushrooms and enokitake mushrooms . In some places , udon , mochi or harusame noodles may also be served . </P>
