Summary
Nabe, a traditional Japanese dish known as Eintopf, is particularly popular in both Japan and Korea, especially enjoyed during the colder months when people gather to share a warm and hearty meal. Typically cooked in a pottery vessel over a portable gas stove, Nabe involves heating broth and gradually adding ingredients like vegetables, meat, and fish, with the cooking order being crucial for optimal flavor. There are various regional types of Nabe, each featuring distinct ingredients, such as Kimuchi Nabe (Kimchi stew), Anko Nabe (monkfish stew), and Chanko Nabe (sumo wrestler's stew), among others. The site also highlights key cooking vessels and provides links for purchasing these items, enriching the reader's experience of mastering this beloved culinary tradition.
Nabe or Nabemono (jap. なべ), meaning hot pot, is very common in Japan and Korea. Almost every household in Japan (including me) owns a portable gas stove, on which Nabe is often cooked. Especially in the cold season, eating a warm and hearty meal together is very pleasant.
The pot in which Nabe is cooked is traditionally made of hardened clay, in which the water is heated with a broth.

Then the ingredients such as vegetables, meat and fish are added one after the other. To ensure an optimal taste experience, the order of the ingredients is very important. A carrot takes longer to cook than a thin piece of meat.

Hallo,
Auf welchen Herdarten kann ich einen Nabe Topf aus Ton verwenden. Ich ahne nur auf Gasherden. Stimmt das?
Anna
Hallo Anna, Nein, das geht auf allen Herdarten. Induktion ausgeschlossen, da Induktion Metalle braucht. Liebe Grüße Ryusei
