Kiritanpo Nabe

Japan · East Asia

Short description: This hot pot turns rice into chewy toasted sticks that soak up a savory chicken broth.
Ingredients: Toasted pounded-rice sticks with chicken, chicken broth, burdock root, mushrooms, green onion, seri greens, and soy sauce.
Cultural note: The toasted rice pieces make the dish filling while still letting broth, greens, and mushrooms define the bowl.
Common misconception: The rice sticks are not noodles; they are made from pounded cooked rice shaped around skewers.
