Chef Tadashi Ono and food journalist Harris Salat demystify this
communal eating tradition for American home cooks with belly-warming
dishes from all corners of Japan.
Using savory broths and healthy, easy-to-find ingredients such as
seafood, poultry, greens, roots, mushrooms, and noodles, these classic
one-pot dishes require minimal fuss and preparation, and no special
equipment--they're simple, fast recipes to whip up either on the stove
or on a tableside portable burner, like they do in Japan. Wholesome,
delicious Japanese comfort food, hot pot cooking satisfies the universal
desire for steaming, gratifying and hearty meals the whole family can
enjoy.
