How to Make Motsunabe


Cut all of your ingredients into bite-sized pieces. To get the true motsunabe flavor, season with Chinese garlic and red chili pepper. The dashi (broth) can be made of a mix of things that may include soy sauce, mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine), water, or chicken bone broth. After preparing your ingredients, bring the dashi to a boil and then add the motsu and simmer. After that, add your vegetables, bring to a boil again, and your dish is ready.
A good tip is to boil the vegetables quickly on a high heat to allow the flavor of the dashi to permeate the vegetables. Also, motsu can have a strong smell, so get rid of this by rubbing them in salt and flour and then rinsing. This will improve the taste! You can also add extra seasonings such as garlic or thinly chopped chilis.
Once the ingredients are cooked through, mix thoroughly.
The Best Way to Eat Motsunabe


In Japan, after eating hot pot, it is customary to cook rice or noodles in the remaining dashi broth. This is known in Japanese as "shime", the act of eating something to end a night of dining on foods like hot pot and drinking alcohol. The tasty dashi, infused with the unique flavors of the motsu and vegetables, is the perfect partner for rice and noodles. You should definitely try it when you come to Japan!
