Jouya nabe (常夜鍋) is a Japanese pot dish featuring sliced pork and spinach boiled in konbu bouillon. Adding tofu and enoki are also possible. Served with a dipping sauce that consists with ponzu and soy sauce.
Jouya nabe literally means "Every night pot" because we never get tired of eating this pot dish even if eating every night. Jouya nabe is a popular dish for a winter dinner, and also popular for a supper of Japanese examinees.
The condiments are usually chopped green onions and grated daikon. The eating style is similar to Shabu Shabu. Therefore do not cook ingredients long time. Cooked pork and spinach are dipped in ponzu soy sauce before eating.
Ponzu is a Japanese citrus. To make dipping sauce, squeezed lemon juice mixed with soy sauce is also possible in stead of using ponzu.
