Ingredients
Dashi:
- 8 cups water
- 2 pieces kombu 6 x 6-inch (15cm x 15cm)
- 1 1/2 oz (45g) dried shaved bonito
Yosenabe
- 4 cups dashi
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 chicken thigh boned, skinned, and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 chicken leg boned, skinned, and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 lb (250g) Napa cabbage sliced
- 1 oz (30g) harusame noodles or cellophane noodles, soaked in water for 15 minutes
- 1/2 package tofu cut into 4 pieces, firm
- 4 clams
- 4 Shrimp head-on
- 4 scallops large
- 1/2 lb (250g) red snapper or sea bass fillet, cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) slices
- 1 negi sliced on an angle into 2-inch (5cm) pieces
- 1 bunch spinach rinsed and cut into 2-inch (5cm) bundle
- 3 oz (90g) shiitake mushrooms or enoki mushrooms or oyster mushrooms, fresh
- 1/2 carrot peeled and cut into 2-inch (5cm) pieces, then thinly sliced lengthwise, medium
Instructions
Dashi:
- Add the water and kombu to a stockpot and let it steep for 30 minutes.
- Place the stockpot over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Remove the kombu and add the bonito, stirring once to mix it in. As soon as the liquid boils again, decrease the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove any scum that appears on the surface.
- Turn off the heat and let the liquid steep for 15 minutes. Strain it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Don't squeeze the bonito flakes, as this will make the dashi cloudy. Discard the bonito flakes after use.
Cup of Yum
Yosenabe:
- Prepare the broth by combining the dashi, mirin, and soy sauce. Set aside.
- Place the cabbage on the bottom of the nabe pot. On top of the cabbage, add the harusame, tofu, clams, shrimp, scallops, red snapper, chicken, negi, spinach, mushrooms, and carrot, arranging each ingredient in a neat order. Pour the broth over the ingredients, cover the hot pot, and bring it to a boil over high heat until cooked.
- Transfer the hot pot to the dining table and serve immediately.
