  Join us for this family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん OUCHIGOHAN and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen!

  
  This November, we’re warming up with a cozy Tsukune Hot Pot (Tori Dango Nabe) — a hearty Japanese one-pot dish featuring tender chicken meatballs simmered with vegetables in a light, flavorful broth. It’s the perfect comfort food for the cooler season and a wonderful way to gather around the table with family and friends. 

  
  To complete the meal, we’ll finish with Shime no Udon, adding udon noodles at the end to soak up the rich, savory broth — a classic and satisfying way to conclude a traditional Japanese winter hot pot meal.
