Chanko Soy Sauce Nabe Recipe

by Cat Yeh

When the weather has gone from crisp fall air to the dead of winter I can’t think of a better way to warm up than over a pot of something bubbling hot and soupy. Nabe or Nabemono in Japanese means one-pot and is typically enjoyed during the winter time. Multiple ingredients like napa cabbage, tofu, mushroom, or sliced beef are simmered all at once in a stock inside a clay or cast iron pot. The flavor of the base soup can be anywhere from light kombu to soy sauce or miso. In this recipe you’re only minutes away from a tasty one-pot meal. The key here is the Daisho Chanko Soy Sauce Nabe Hot Pot Soup Base that is packed full of flavor and saves you from having to make your own base soup from scratch. All you need to do is prep a few ingredients and heat them within the soup for a delectable meal that will warm you from the inside out!
