Delicious Motsu Nabe (Pig Offal Hotpot) - A Speciality of Hakata
- 300 to 400 grams Pig offal (motsu)
- 1/2 Cabbage
- 1 bunch Chinese chives
- 200 grams Konnyaku
- 1/2 block Silken tofu
- 1 Burdock root
- 500 ml Chicken soup stock granules (or chicken soup stock)
- 300 ml Dashi stock
- 3 large cloves Garlic
- 50 ml *Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp *Mirin
- 2 tbsp plus *Ground sesame seeds
- 50 grams *Miso (white or blended)
- 1 Red chili pepper
- 1 as much (to taste) Champon noodles
- 1 as much (to taste) Plain cooked rice
- If you have the time and inclination, please make chicken carcass soupfrom scratch.
- It's really good.
- Plus, chicken carcasses are cheap.
- But if it's a bother, soup stock granules are fine of course!
- Rip up the cabbage with your hands.
- Cut the tofu into easy to eat pieces.
- Finely julienne the burdock root.
- Cut the Chinese chives into 1/4 length pieces.
- Slice the garlic cloves.
- Slice the konnyaku into 4 to 5 mm thick slices, and blanch in boiling water.
- In the next step you'll decide whether to make the hotpot soy sauce or miso flavored.
- Mix the * ingredients in a separate bowl.
- If you are making a miso base, add the miso first then add soy sauce while tasting.
- If youre making a soy sauce base, omit the miso and add soy sauce and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt while tasting.
- Put the pig offal in a pot of boiling water, bring back to the boil and then train into a colander.
- Rinse quickly under running water to get rid of any scum.
- If you rinse it too much you'll also wash away the umami-rich fat, so just rinse lightly.
- Put the sliced garlic and offal in the dashi stock and chicken soup, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add the combined sauce from Step 3 little by little.
- Make it a bit on the salty rich side.
- When the motsu (offal) soup is done, put in all the other ingredients, simmer until done and that's it.
- Put the ingredient in the pot in this order: burdock root and offal at the bottom konnyaku tofu and cabbage chives.
- Add some champon noodles (thick ramen style noodles) at the end, or add some cooked rice and make a porridge.
- (Add egg and leek for this, not listed in the ingredients.)
- If there's a lot of soup left you can add the champon noodles first, and then some rice afterwards, to enjoy both.
- The offal I used looked like this.
