Divide remaining cooking ingredients, except noodles, into thirds. Keep chilled until ready to cook.
Add about one-third of the potatoes, daikon, carrots, leeks, cabbage, mushrooms, burdock, grilled tofu. chicken, fried tofu, and bok choy to simmering broth.
Cook until vegetables begin to soften and chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add about one-third of the beef.
Simmer until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Serve cooked items to guests.
Repeat with second 1/3 of the cooking ingredients.
Repeat with remaining third of the cooking ingredients.
Once all the vegetables, tofu, chicken, greens, and beef have been eaten, use a small sieve to pick out scraps. Bring remaining broth in pot back to a simmer, add noodles, and simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Serve in individual bowls.
