Soy Milk Clams Hot Pot

This soy milk clams hot pot (nabe) is a recipe for a small hot pot for one (to two persons). I made this for my brunch, before I go to the office in the afternoon. Even though my hot pot casserole is small, it is filled with a good variety of ingredients. For a change, the soup broth of the day was soy milk miso soup. The soy milk lends a mild yet refreshing, silky touch to the usual hot pot broth and complimented well with the clams. It looked to me like the ingredients were having a relaxing soak in a milk spa :D

RECIPE INSPIRATION

(Donki) Unsweetened Soy Milk
I have been finding inspiration for cooking these days in different ways. Previously, I was inspired to make air fryer pizza when I saw perfectly-sized air fryer paper liners. This time round, I saw Donki’s unsweetened soy milk and I was instantly attracted by the pretty design of the bottle. Since I enjoyed the taste of the soy milk (unsweetened, creamy and rich), so I decided to use the second bottle I bought for making this soy milk clams hot pot the next day.

(Donki) Hot Pot Vegetable Set

I bought this hot pot vegetable set at Don Don Donki too. I think generally Japanese supermarkets sell such vegetable sets. It is a cost and time efficient way for to enjoy a bit of every vegetable (corn, broccoli, mushrooms, carrot, daikon) with napa cabbage as the base. I divided my set to 3 smaller boxes. Then whenever I want to make hot pot or soup, just take out the box from the fridge and it’s ready to use!
