Ebi Nira Harusame, glass noodles with prawns and garlic chives from Simply Donabe.

A mix of influences from the Asian side of the world — dashi, doubanjian, fish sauce — come together beautifully. The ability of tiny weightless glass noodles to absorb liquid — and all that influence with it — is just incredible. Doubanjian adds the heat, fish sauce adds the umami factor. The actual flavor of the whole thing would depend upon the quality of the dashi. I happened to have kelp and bonito to make my own.

First hot pot of autumn! #donabe #food

小さな tiny hitori no 一人の Mille Feuille #nabemono #鍋物 for #dinner #夜ご飯 Pork, napa cabbage, kombu dashi, ginger juice, shiro tamari, sake, mirin simmering in the tiny #donabe #土鍋 #claypot, ponzu and scallion for dipping, and steamed rice on the side. I should really get a second donabe for the rice, but for now, my mini Panasonic SR-3NA (1.5 gō) rice cooker will do. #一人の料理 #CookingForOne

If you were my girlfriend, you would eat this well every night.

I wonder if there are any good online resources or books for tiny #cooking, specifically for people who live in small #urbanism #apartments or #tinyhouse #THoW #vanlife

I have some ideas of my own, of course, having been #homeless more than once, living in the bed of my pickup truck.

I have a tiny #donabe #土鍋 that is a perfect size for one person, and I've cooked a lot of meals on a single burner backpacking canister gas stove. Here's a beef, umeboshi, and nori hotpot I made a few years ago:

My Resourceful and beautiful wife secured a #donabe for us to try #oden!!

I am looking for a decent quality donabe pot that isn't going to break the bank. Anyone have a recommendation of one they or someone they know has used?
