What do you put in nabe?
Do you make your own broth? What do you put in it? What ingredients do you put in your nabe? Do you follow a recipe, or just do the yose nabe thing and put whatever fits in the pot?

(I'm not the one who usually makes nabe, but) we have almost exclusively used recipes and added whatever seasonal veggies sound good. It seems to be about using up what you have, similar to a stew. Kimchi, soy milk, and tantan nabe are repeaters. We also cook nabe in the pressure cooker then add the leafy veggies at the end.

niku dango hakusai negi tofu shiitake or enoki mushrooms These tend to be the regular elements of our nabe at home. Sometimes there's some shirataki noodles in there, but I'm not a huge fan. We'll sometimes make a mizutake sauce using konbu dashi and ponzu, particularly when we're adding chicken, otherwise we pick up one of the wide variety of ready-made sauces at the supermarket and adapt things according to that.

We tend to just add whatever, but to be honest our nabe pot ends up feeling a bit more like shabu shabu! We usually get thinly cut meat (pork or beef), cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, etc. We also typically add noodles because our kids enjoy them a lot, and I feel like it bulks up the meal. I never thought to make my own broth before, we buy premade stuff.

@genkidesu I might experiment with the shabu shabu ingredients. This past week, I did nabe twice, once with udon to finish it, and the second with rice. We didn't finish the rice at dinner so it became breakfast the next day. I got a gift of katsuofuridashi that comes in little bags. We were really happy with just the katsuo broth for the nabe base. We do the okonomi thing - put ponzu and shoyu in little dishes on the table so we can season to taste.

@TonetoEdo （I don‘t make it but this is probably my favorite.）There is tobanjan I think and another spicy sauce in the recipe. We like it with both ground beef and soy protein. Also yummy with chuka/chanpon noodles to finish.
