Cooking Lab - Winter Miso Nabe Soup with Assorted Fishballs (冬天就是要吃日式味噌火鍋)

Japanese miso hot pot (nabe) is extremely popular in Winter. It is hearty, filling and has a beautiful rich flavour. 

Generally you can adapt and add in whatever you fancy. We generally enjoy plonking fish balls into the pot to make it vibrant and playful for everyone to enjoy the experience. 

這陣子，天氣好冷，完全無心情煮，所以火鍋是冬天最幸福的料理！

比起台式的麻辣鍋，我比較鐘意清淡的高湯底。可以隨意加進任何季節的特產就可以做成獨一無二的冬季日式鍋。簡單又豪華豐盛。

2. Dissolve the miso paste into the boiling stock. Add in soy sauce and sugar.

3. Slice the fried tofu puffs into triangles and thickly slice the silken tofu.

4. Add them into the miso broth.

5. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the tofu fully absorbed the miso broth.

Tip: the longer you leave the tofu in there, the more flavorful they will become.

6. Add in the pork balls, fish cakes or fishballs.

7. Turn up the heat, arrange the enoki mushrooms, clams, and the vegetables in the pot.

8. Bring the pot back to boil.

9. Cook for further 5 minutes.

Nabe is nutritious, simple and heathy. A good change from the normal heavy winter comfort meals. 

A very homely, smoothing and comforting hotpot that everyone love to come home to.
