“Nabe” is the Japanese word for everything in one pot. There are many kinds of Nabe—it’s simple and great party food. It is also popular to eat in winter to make the body warm. I used chicken in this recipe but you can use beef, pork, seafood, and of course your favorite vegetables.

great site for japanese recipes
Made this for dinner, and it was so amazing. So freaking tasty! Thanks for the recipe.
Mai chan arigato~!
This was quick and delicious on a very cold night ^.^/
Ground daikon is called daikonoroshi. Usually we eat it with a little soy sauce. I’m not sure what kind of sauce that restaurant may have used (there are many varieties). However, daikonoroshi is very good in soba sauce.
I particularly enjoyed the side dishes of daikon that were served with so many things. Is the daikon just grated and served in a small bowl or are other ingredients added to it ? One soba restaurant had a large bowl of thick , cold daikon sauce (??) that you dipped the soba into. I’d love to know what was in that daikon mixture .
Thanks! Glad to have you here. Let us know if you don’t see a recipe that you’d like to make!
Just returned from my second trip to Japan and find that I’m hopelessly addicted to Japanese food. Love this site, its easy to navigate and has some of my favorite recipes…… curries, noodles, katsudons…….
Thanks! It’s also very good with just vegetables.
Love your recipe and pic…I will try it skipping the chicken!
