Chicken & Cabbage Hot Pot (Tori Nabe) with Naoko Moore | Farm to Table Family | PBS Parents - YouTube farmtotablefamily

Hot Pot is one of those rare dishes that straddle the line between meal and activity. A steaming pot of rich and savory broth is cooked over a portable burner in the middle of the table. Then various meats and vegetables are added into the broth to cook, each adding another layer of flavor to the final dish. By the time it’s done, you’ve had so much fun assembling it that it wouldn’t matter much how it tasted, but it also just so happens to be crazy delicious: the perfect balance of savory, earthy, and salty. I was lucky enough to get this recipe from Naoko Takei Moore, an expert on donabe cooking. A donabe is a Japanese earthenware pot, designed for cooking over an open flame. While it works perfectly for this application, it’s not a necessity for a delicious hot pot. The dish can easily be cooked in a heavy pot, and the recipe is well-suited to experimentation; feel free to substitute in your favorite vegetables. But whatever you do, be sure to save your leftover broth. It makes the perfect base for a savory and creamy rice porridge dish that will knock your socks off. (Recipe to come next week!)
