Chicken Tofu Nabe

Cultural Context

Nabe, or hot pot, is a traditional Japanese cooking style that emphasizes communal dining. Originating from the colder regions of Japan, it brings warmth and comfort, making it perfect for family gatherings. Chicken Tofu Nabe combines tender chicken and soft tofu with seasonal vegetables, creating a nourishing dish that highlights the umami of dashi.

1 tablespoon salt
a pinch of black pepper
1 liter water
300cc sake

tofu

🥗Healthier: tempeh

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Tempeh is higher in protein, while cottage cheese is often less expensive.

dashi broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Vegetable broth is lower in calories, while chicken broth is typically cheaper.

1

Cut the chicken into large bite-sized pieces and rub with salt (1 tablespoon), then refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

2

Cut the green onions into 1 cm diagonal slices and chop the green parts finely. Crush the garlic with the flat side of a knife. Cut the tofu into 8 pieces.

3

Boil water in a pot and briefly blanch the chicken from step 1, then drop it into cold water and drain before adding it back to the pot.

4

Add A (water and sake), green onions, and garlic to the pot and bring to medium heat. Once boiling, skim off the scum and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.

5

Mix the ingredients for B (except for the egg yolks and aonori) and divide into individual serving bowls, adding one egg yolk and a sprinkle of aonori to each bowl to make the special sauce.

6

If the liquid in step 4 has reduced, add a little water and adjust the taste with a pinch of salt. Add the tofu and simmer just to warm it through, then finish with a sprinkle of black pepper.

7

Top with the finely chopped green parts of the green onions as a garnish before serving.
