yosenabe

Yosenabe literally means collection hot pot.

You put whatever you want into the hot pot.

I cooked half a daikon, 1 carrrot, 1 "stick" of gobo (burdock) and the outer part of some chinese cabbage.

Then I cooked the nabe set I purchased from Benny.

The price of the set was super reasonable and there was all sorts of seafood...bummer that one of the clams did not open after being cooked.

The crab was kind of slim pickings too...but the broth was flavorful

Our blog rarely had nabe on it in the past, but now that "someone" eats at home more, we can have nabe more often.

If you eat nabe (hot pot), what is your favorite ingredient?

598Y for that????? you're killing me!
I love nabe. LOL, now that you get to cook it more often, I can't because someone doesn't eat dinner and so far, still so hot to have it for lunch, but what the heck. I think I'll just turn all the fans on.
The Japanese markets don't sell a seafood tray like that, even at Hawaii prices but they do sell a tray of assorted nabe vegetables, usually about $8 to $10. Marukai has either beef or chicken pieces in theirs for over $10. It is kind of worth it since I don't have to buy whole wonbok, mushrooms, etc. Costs a fortune when gotta buy individually and they the leftovers go to waste.
Feels so healthy too.

I like that Japan sells their wonbok in different sizes V, so no need to buy whole one.

Take care!

So what is the difference between yosenabe and shabu-shabu? I go to a shabu-shabu place here near me that is the greatest! Lots of veggies, tofu, fishcake, shrimp, ika, beef, pork, and chicken. I get my money's worth all the time!!

Ho, that looks good!

Alan, Shabu shabu is an onomatopoeia sound that is made when you “swish” meat in the hot pot broth.

Take care.
