Japanese nabe, oden, soups and broths play an important role in family cooking in Japan. This selection brings together broth bases, preparations for Japanese hot pots and easy-to-prepare soups, whether you want to make a complete dish to share, a hot starter or a quick meal.
Nabe is a Japanese hot pot cooked in a large pot, often placed in the centre of the table. A soup base is heated, then everyone cooks vegetables, Japanese mushrooms, tofu, meat, fish or shirataki in it. Simply choose a classic, curry-flavoured or spicier broth, then add the ingredients you prefer.
Sukiyaki also belongs to this broad family of dishes made for sharing and is prepared with a slightly sweet sauce available among our Japanese sukiyaki sauces.
Oden is a milder simmered dish in which daikon, eggs, konjac, tofu and fish-based products cook slowly in a light dashi broth. Our tofu oden recipe provides an easy introduction to this genuine Japanese-style pot-au-feu. For quicker meals, you will also find versatile broths and Japanese soups that are ready in just a few minutes.
To complete this selection, you can also browse our instant Japanese miso soups and mixes for Japanese dishes, which make it easy to prepare a wide variety of recipes.
