Nabe (steam pot) Part 1!!!

SUKIYAKI Nabe :)
Suki yaki is a Japanese Traditional hot pot (Nabe in Japanese) served with
sliced of meat, tofu, mashroom, spring onion, carrot, shirataki (konyaku noodle), and othe
vegitable if you want more. 
Interesting thing is that pieces of food are dipped into a raw egg before you eat them. 
Those food are boiled inside of hot pot with soy sauce based soup. 
the sauce is traditionally cooked with soy sauce, a lot of sugar, and salt. 
I love the sauce because it tastes sweet and perfectly matches with raw egg. 
Here is an image of Sukiyaki Nabe.


Sukiyaki is generally eaten in winter season because it is hot dish. 
Japanese people often eat Sukiyaki at year-end parties because it is easy to cook and many people can eat at the same time together. 

One more interesting thing is that Japanese comedian who has a really tight budget like to cook Sukiyaki nabe because it is of course easy to cook and cheap. 


My family eat Sukiyaki at my grandparents house on December 31st every year.
Try it now!!!
