Notes about this book

  • mariarita on January 11, 2024

    I like this book, but most of the nabe recipes are for meat, with relatively few for seafood or veg. In the future we’ll all be eating much less meat for personal and planetary health, good to start now!

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Basic sukiyaki sauce

    • mjes on December 18, 2019

      I've been using beef stock to which shoyu, sake, and mirin were added. This recipe used for Kobe Waygu beef sukiyaki was a major improvement. I'll switch 50 years of cooking practice.

  • Kobe wagyu beef sukiyaki

    • mjes on December 18, 2019

      I learned to make sukiyaki from a Japanese private chef in San Francisco in the early 1970's, complete with bean sprouts and bamboo shoots. Carrots and watercress never entered my mind as a variation although I've used a wide variety of vegetables. I enjoyed using suet for "greasing the pan" but I omitted the egg dip as a condiment for the beef. I appreciated the ease with which one could make half the recipe, An excellent recipe and an opportunity to try homemade udon noodles (Anson flour recipe).

  • Compressed spinach salad with sesame sauce (Goma-ae)

    • mjes on December 18, 2019

      One of my absolutely favorite Japanese dishes. I prefer recipes that also include mirin and rice vinegar so this version will not be repeated.

  • Salmon hot pot

    • mariarita on January 11, 2024

      Made this with steelhead trout and it was fab! The crispy skin sprinkle is amazing!

Publishers Text

In Japan, hot pot cooking is called nabemono, or nabe, and cooked in donabe, traditional clay pots. Comforting, healthy, affordable, easy, and quick—especially when you make your broth bases in advance—these satisfying one-pot meals can be customized for anyone (including kids!).

Simply Hot Pots brings hot pot cooking to your table with a complete course of 75 recipes, including 15 base broths (from shabu-shabu to bone broths to creamy corn and tomato broths); pork, chicken, beef, seafood, spicy, vegetable, and specialty hot pot meals; dipping sauces; sides; and desserts. Amy Kimoto-Kahn, the best-selling author of Simply Ramen, shares recipes of traditional and non-traditional Japanese hot pots, along with East Asian hot pots with flavors from Mongolia, Thailand, and Malaysia.

You and your guests will love quickly cooking shabu-shabu–style meats, greens, mushrooms, onions, root and other vegetables, and tofu in the piping hot, savory broths, followed by a shime (end-of-meal course), when plump udon noodles, tender ramen noodles, or fluffy rice are placed into the leftover broth and simmered until warm and bursting with its delicious flavor.

With easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and stunning photos, Simply Hot Pots will not only have your dinner table brimming with great food, but also great conversation.
