Authentic Japanese Cooking: Hot Pot Cooking

Our theme of this episode is making hot pots! We'll be introducing oki-suki, a dish that was once prepared by fishers on their boats during downtime while fishing. The "oki" means "offshore," and the "suki" comes from the name of the dish sukiyaki. With seasonal seafood, including buri yellowtail, and a rich soy sauce-based soup, this hot pot features flavors you'll only find in Japanese cuisine. We'll also show you how to finish up the leftover soup in the traditionally delicious Japanese way.
