Chef's Tips

Feel free to substitute vegetables based on what's in season or your preferences. Other options include bok choy, chrysanthemum greens, or daikon radish.

For a richer flavor, you can add a small piece of kombu (dried kelp) to the broth while simmering. Remove the kombu before serving.

Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're making a large batch, it's better to cook in multiple batches to ensure everything cooks evenly.

Serve with individual bowls and chopsticks to make it easier to enjoy the nabe.

The broth can be saved and used for making zosui (rice porridge) the next day by adding cooked rice to the broth.
