Kimchi nabe (キムチ鍋)

What kind of dish is kimchi nabe??

Kimchi nabe is a spicy hot pot dish made with kimchi. Kimchi nabe is a very popular hotpot dish in Japan, and it is so popular that it ranks high in rankings of favorite hotpot dishes of all generations. It’s made with pork, seafood, tofu, and lots of vegetables, so you can get plenty of nutrients.

It is a dish very similar to kimchi jjigae, which is often eaten on the Korean Peninsula. The word ”Jjigae” means ”hot pot dish”. Most Japanese households use commercially available “soup for kimchi hotpot.” This time I made this soup by hand.

We recommend using less sour kimchi for kimchi nabe. If you are using kimchi with a strong sour taste, it is best to fry it in sesame oil before adding it to the soup to reduce the sourness.

Recommended ingredients

The most popular meat used for kimchi nabe is pork, especially pork belly. Adding bone-in chicken or wiener sausages is a popular ingredient as it enhances the flavor.

The standard vegetable used for kimchi nabe is Chinese cabbage. If you thinly slice carrots or daikon radish with a peeler and add them, the flavor will absorb quickly and it will be delicious. Chives also go well with kimchi nabe, and the dark green color adds color. Mushrooms such as shiitake and enoki mushrooms have a strong flavor and are also recommended ingredients.

Adding mochi (rice cake), cheese, egg, etc. will soften the spiciness, so this arrangement is especially recommended for people who don’t like spicy food.

After eating the ingredients, add rice, ramen, or udon noodles and simmer. In Japan, simmering the staple food at the end of nabe (hot pot dish) is called “shime”.

*What is the difference from Sundubu? …Dubu jjigae is a type of jjigae that uses tofu as the main ingredient. It is famous for its use of sundubu (soft tofu with plenty of moisture). Instead of using kimchi, seafood such as clams, oysters, and cod are often used.

What kind of food is kimchi??

Kimchi (Korean: 김치) is a traditional pickle produced on the Korean Peninsula. The main ingredients are vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, salt, chili pepper, salted seafood, and garlic.

Traditionally, kimchi was made by pickling vegetables in salt as a preserved food for the winter. Since then, it has changed to include spices such as garlic, pepper, and chili pepper. Nowadays, the one made from ancient times is called Baekkimchi (white kimchi), and the one mixed with chili pepper is classified as kimchi.

Kimchi has an attractive flavor that combines the stimulation of chili peppers, the sweetness of vegetables, the sourness caused by lactic acid fermentation, and the saltiness.

In Japan, there are two types of kimchi: Chinese cabbage kimchi and kimchi made from other vegetables. People don’t like kimchi that is too sour, so the upper limit of acidity is set, and the fermentation period is set shorter than that of Korean kimchi. In addition, soy sauce is added to make it more suitable for Japanese people.

Kimchi is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, capsaicin, and lactic acid bacteria. By eating kimchi, you can expect health and beauty benefits such as improving immunity, beautifying your skin, and relieving constipation. However, it is very salty, so don’t eat too much.

⑤ Cut the Chinese cabbage. Cut the hard parts into thin strips, and cut the leafy parts into larger pieces.

⑨ Pour the sauce into a clay pot and add the Chinese cabbage, shimeji mushrooms, firm tofu, and chives.
