And you're right, "nabe" is pot, and it's used to refer to the ceramic/ earthenware pot. But my electric one... well, it has two different inserts! One deep one for Nabe, and one shallow one for Yakiniku. I love it,yokohamamamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098212549844656652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027119346366147543.post-1413418994829295932011-02-13T02:30:15.552+09:002011-02-13T02:30:15.552+09:00Ah-ha!

From Shizuo Tsuji's <i>Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art</i> (pages 256-258 in the 2006 edition): there is the traditional earthenware casserole-type vessel, the <i>donabe</i> 土鍋; there is also the traditional cast iron vessel, the <i> tetsunabe</i> 鉄鍋; he lists a <i>sukiyaki-nabe</i> as another type of dish, though he does not specifically describe this type of vessel; he also notes the Chris Slabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166767450241044396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027119346366147543.post-60254302421410295082011-02-13T01:56:16.319+09:002011-02-13T01:56:16.319+09:00YUM!

The Japan Times recently had a piece on nabe, with some Tokyo restaurant suggestions: http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fg20080201rs.html The one nabe that I have not yet tried is chanko nabe, the sumo wrestler's nabe.

So glad you enjoy my attempts to describe Japanese culture and food and nature and whatnot:-))<br /><br />Hmmmm---I didn't make those meatballs myself, but they usually are ground chicken plus ground (or grated) carrot and cabbage and sometimes lotus root. Most stores sell them ready-made, so when I'm busy (which is most of the time;-)) I just buy yokohamamamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098212549844656652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027119346366147543.post-28563746609562723442011-02-11T12:51:30.126+09:002011-02-11T12:51:30.126+09:00I've recently found your blog and have been en...I've recently found your blog and have been enjoying it as I'm fascinated by Japanese culture, particularly the food.

Fast, too! This is actually the first time I've done that--usually we put udon noodles in the broth when we're done with all the vegetables and meatballs, but no udon yesterday. Thus, the rice and egg. My husband actually suggested having it in the morning--I thought "that'll be easy!" It was!<br /><br />Summer-yokohamamamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098212549844656652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027119346366147543.post-21041094531893372072011-02-10T23:50:16.592+09:002011-02-10T23:50:16.592+09:00Yum!
