您可以在工作日晚餐中保持简单，但是添加新鲜的海鲜，Yosenabe很容易成为聚会上最豪华的热锅之一！

What is Yosenabe?

The wordyosecomes from the verbyoseru(寄せる) which means to “put together.” Andnabe(鍋) is the Japanese word for “pot” and is used to refer to hot pot dishes. So yosenabe is pretty much an “everything hot pot” where you have all kinds of ingredients cooked together in a simmering broth for an ultimate warm meal.

I also call yosenabe a freestyle hot pot because there is no right or wrong way to make it. You start with a simple dashi broth, then add in your choice of proteins, followed by fresh vegetables and mushrooms. For yosenabe, the more the merrier. The mix of ingredients will lend plenty of flavor to the soup broth!

Cooking Tools for Hot Pot

• A large donabe(Japanese earthenware pot) – You can also use a large Dutch oven. I have different styles of donabe and for this recipe, I usedGinpo Kikka Banko Donabe日本粘土锅. If you love hot pot dishes (shabu shabu, sukiyaki, kimchi nabe, etc.), it’s a great kitchen tool to have!
• 便携式炉子– I use thisIwatani propane gas stove. It is a necessary tool to enjoy all kinds of hot pots at home.
• Communal cooking tools- 长烹饪筷子，开槽的汤匙，钢包和精美的撇渣器。

Mirin and Sake I Recommend

To flavor the soup broth, you will need mirin and sake. Just like soy sauce, these two condiments are frequently used in Japanese recipes. It’s very important to use mirin with a higher % of alcohol, and not a mirin-like or mirin-type condiment (阅读有关不同种类的mirin的更多信息).

Sake is almost always used whenever we make seafood and meat recipes as the alcohol masks the fishy/gamey smell while imparting sweet natural umami from the fermented rice wine.

我一直在使用Sho Chiku bai Classic JunmaiandTakara MirinbyTakara Sakefor a long time. And I’m glad that I get to partner with the company to introduce the trusted Japanese ingredients to elevate your cooking!

How To Cook Yosenabe At The Table

步骤1：设置表

在桌子的中央，为热锅设置了一个便携式炉子。确保每个人都可以到达锅；否则，我建议设置多个炉子和锅。当您离热锅动作太远时，这并不有趣。

Place the platters of ingredients around the portable stove. They should be easily accessible to everyone.

Step 2: Bring the broth to a boil

首先，将肉汤煮沸。如果您正在烹饪根蔬菜，例如Daikon，Gobo（Burdock Root）和胡萝卜（如果不是丝带，就像我在此食谱中所做的那样），请在加热肉汤时开始烹饪它们。他们需要更长的时间做饭。

Step 3: Fill the pot with ingredients but do not overcrowd

一旦肉汤沸腾，将成分加入锅中，通过将其排列到锅中，直到锅填充为止。例如，将NAPA白菜放在一个区域，而蘑菇停留在一个区域，海鲜留在另一个区域。这样，很容易拿起想要吃的食物。

Always remember—do not overcrowd as we will cook and eat in batches. Hot pot is a process, so space out the cooking so you can enjoy the food at a leisurely pace.

关the lid and cook for 8-10 minutes. Depending on the ingredients, leafy greens will cook a lot faster than chicken, so keep an eye out on the food. During the waiting period, everyone can enjoy any appetizers or side dishes that are served alongside the hot pot.

Step 4: Serve the cooked food

It’s always a nice gesture to pick up foods from the pot for people sitting next to you who may be busy chatting or eating. Ask if they are interested in being served.

Enjoy the food while hot. For yosenabe, the ingredients are already cooked in a flavorful broth, so there’s no need for a dipping sauce. We sprinkle chopped green onion, yuzu zest, and/or shichimi togarashi to enjoy.

Step 5: Start a new batch

一旦所有的熟食是服务d and cleared from the hot pot, add a new batch of ingredients. Cover the lid and start cooking for another 8-10 minutes. Add water if the broth is low in the pot. Enjoy and continue with 2-3 more rounds of cooking until you finish all the ingredients.

Sake Pairing with Mio

For yosenabe, we’ve paired it with Takara Sake’sSho Chiku Bai Shirakabegura Mio.It is one of our favorite sake drinks to share with friends and enjoy during celebrations.

如果您以前从未尝试过闪闪发光的清酒，我们强烈建议您尝试MIO作为第一个。它是由没有添加剂的米饭和小米制成的。该轮廓略带甜美，果味，非常令人耳目一新。我们的许多朋友感到惊讶的是它的味道多么美味，并成为了即时的粉丝。它的微小气泡在质地上与优质香槟相似，与常规味相比，酒精含量低5％。

The gentle characters of Mio complement yosenabe’s bold savory flavors superbly. Drinking the sparkling sake while eating hot pot brings out the unique flavors of each ingredient, and Mio ends up tasting a bit sweeter with the savory foods. The best part is the cold sparkling sake cools you down and encourage the appetite to eat more hot pot!
