Although Japanese diners do not eat beef very often, sukiyaki is one of the most popular and well known of the nabemono dishes, both in Japan and in North America. If you choose to substitute bite-sized pieces of chicken for beef, this dish is called torisuki.

Nabemono dishes combine meat or seafood and vegetables in one pot to make a hearty and satisfying meal. In Japan, “nabe” cooking is done at the table, using a pot heated over a gas or charcoal burner.
Meals featuring nabemono are particularly popular in the winter because the heat of the burner warms the room as well as cooks the food.
This simple chicken dish is served with a dipping sauce that adds a spicy taste. For color or garnish, you might want to add 1 c. of chopped carrots at the same time that you put in the cabbage.

A similar dish prepared with beef is called shabu shabu, and when fish is used, it is called chirinabe.
These colorful skewers of meat and vegetables are served during festive occasions, and they are especially loved by Korean children. This recipe works best with long metal skewers.
