this is by far the most comprehensive hotpot/shabu shabu video i've seen so far. thank you so much for showing not only the prep but the delicious eating part as well~ 💗💗💗 i can't wait to try this out.
My stepdad is Japanese and he always makes hotpot in the winter. Omg it's one of my favorite dishes, I need him to teach me how to make the broth. He makes his a bit different and I haven't tried it with the 2 different sauces before. Usually we use ginger and add it to the broth, then I use a bit of soya sauce to my tofu. He also only cooks veggies in the hotpot, sometimes he will add a hard boiled egg for us. I'm glad I found this video bcuz I would like to try and make it for myself, I will have to buy a small pot and a small heating element 😁
wow that sounds good as well! well, in Japan there are surely more than 50 to 100 variation of Nabe Hotpot and it also depends on regions. so just be creative with it! you actually don't necessarily have a special pot, but I used to use just regular metal pot for it and heated on the stove and brought to the table when ready.
I lived in Kainan Shi in Wakayana Ken for a year. A local family invited us for nabe dinner most weeks. In winter we sat at the kotatsu with the warm blanket. It was very warm, the food was delicious, and the company kind and hospitable.
Awesome, love your channel. You’re actually a lot fancier than me but the way you make shabu shabu is way more realistic for me than the other channels :)
Hotpot is one of my sons favorite meal. Eating hotpot is the only time my boys eat lots of vegetables 😁 with their meat. Now I know how to make the two sauces from scratch. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
I think of japanese cooking as being the healthiest there is. Now I learn from your channel everything I need to know to cook healthy at home. I want home cooked japanese food, not the delivery or restaurant, which is not traditional in restaurants in Europe. There is a tndency in restaurants to make a europenization" of recipes. Thank you a lot
I often watch this video and can't figure out what kind of soysauce you are using with the grey lid. I only know red lid and green lid. Is it salty or sweet soysauce? Thanks for all your free receipes and amazing, clear video's.
Your tutorials just couldn't be better! Such a perfect simple instruction and also really fun to watch. You make it feel achievable to do at home. I love that you think of all the replacement ingredients if it's not easy to buy in other countries. Thank you for all your effort and hard work. I really enjoy it 🙏👌
What is that strip of something ( couldn’t understand and didn’t find anything in recipe below that sounded like what you said) What is it? And where would you purchase?
oh, that is strip of KOMBU, or Kombu kelp. I forgot to put it in the ingredients... sorry about that, and thank you for the question! it is a type of dried seaweed, something to make a broth out of. you could buy in most asian market or online. more exactly, I am explaining in this video of Dashi (Japanese stock), if you are interested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PS1B5X4a2_U.html
Just out of curiosity, are all the ingredients washed prior to cutting? And the sound you made is soooo cute when water came out from the tofu box as well as oil dripping from sesame paste bottle, hahaha~~
My only complaint about hot pot is sooo many dishes! Plus it's more involved but man is it good. Thx for this. I wanna know if a small Dutch oven will work for this as well?
With Ponzu sauce 😋 Mmm 💗💕💕💓💖 my favorite. This must be amazing with Beef bone broth after brewing all day. I love the way you speak your language & how you express yourself. You got all these American girls wishing they had you for a boyfriend 🥰
Bok Choy is not suitable for steamboat. Use Spinach, water spinach, oyster mushrooms. Green onion not recommended. Instead chopped and use for noodles soup
i am sorry, that you don't like the eating part... in Japanese cooking show i.e. for Japanese or in Japanese cuisine, eating is an important part. but if you don't like it, pls skip to the end or to another video. but thank you for the feedback. I will try to eat it cleaner in the future.
@@taijiskitchen Oh .. please don't 'eat cleaner' I loved the 'slurp aleart' and the joy in your eating. Some people are picky about eating habits, personally or culturally. This is an introduction to Japanese (albeit mixed *winks* ) culture and the slurp and joyful eating is very attractive to me.
@@ValeriePallaoro hahaha, thanx so much for your feedback!! glad to know that some people enjoy my "dirty" (i.e. normal) eating habit!! I will then try to find the golden middle!!
Seeing and hearing you enjoy your food is the best part of the video and is what actually makes me want to try it too if it’s as good as it sounds. Keep slurping away!😆
Eating raw beef is primitive and hard on the digestive system. Animals eat raw meat. Humans have a different metabolism and at the same time our heightened sensibilities require cooked meat. Steam cooked beef would be fine with your hotpot stew filled with veggies and tofu. Civilise.
@@taijiskitchen I made it!! It was great fun, made both types of sauces as well. Am looking forward to experimenting with different vegetables and flavours!
i don't know too well about meat parts, but depending on if you like lean or fatty cuts. if you prefer lean, then round or shoulder, but if fatty, then loin or rump. for the pot, in most asian supermarket or surely online.
hahaha, no worries! I don't get to see who subscribed/unsubscribed anyways! just stay subscribed if you enjoy my videos and want to see more, if you a any point reach that you are not interested in seeing more of these video, I don't judge if you unsubscribe. cuz it'll tell me that my video is not as interesting und I will have to change something and improve my videos. so no need to subscribe out of kindness, hehe!
My local Asian market has changed my life. They’ve got it all. From thin sliced meat for amazing prices to noodles and sauces and my favorite trumpet/king mushrooms. Plus you get so much more food than traditional American stores. To top it off next door is an Asian market for restaurants and they carry every cooking utensil you could ever need for great prices as well. And now I’m hungry. Love these videos.
You make me want to eat whatever you make. So I shouldn't plan on watching whatever delicious food you make before cooking whatever I had planned! The way you enjoy your food is very contagious! I read the thanks you say before and after eating, but it sounds different than what I read. I want to learn that, too. Eventually maybe they will absorb into my brain...
Ahhhh, Shaun Shaun is my favorite, I grew up next to little Saigon in S. Cal. I moved to Oregon and there aren't any restaurants in my town, I would have to drive at least an hour or more to get to one. Thank you for the recipe, now I can make it at home anytime I want!
