Anything Goes Donabe

The anything goes donabe is a versatile and restorative Japanese one-pot that celebrates the art of communal dining. This dairy-free dish relies on a delicate dashi broth infused with mirin and light soy sauce, providing a savoury foundation for an abundance of fresh seafood and tender chicken. By layering Napa cabbage with spring onions and earthy mushrooms, the ingredients steam beautifully together, allowing their natural juices to mingle and create a light yet deeply satisfying meal.

Perfect for a nutritious midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend gathering, this recipe is easily adapted to include whichever seasonal vegetables or proteins you have to hand. Serve this steaming casserole dish in the centre of the table with the curled spring onions for a healthy, homemade feast that is as visually striking as it is delicious.

How to make Anything Goes Donabe

Place noodles in a large bowl and add cold water to cover; let soak 15 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, combine dashi, mirin, and soy sauce in a medium bowl.

Place thinly sliced spring onions in a small bowl and add cold water to cover. Soak until they begin to curl, 8–10 minutes. Drain; squeeze to remove excess water.

Lay cabbage in a large donabe or Dutch oven. Arrange clams, prawns, snapper, chicken, tofu, mushrooms, carrot, 2" spring onion pieces, and noodles on top; add dashi mixture.

Cover donabe and heat over medium-high until liquid is just simmering. Uncover, reduce heat to low, and gently simmer until clams open and chicken and fish are cooked through, 5–8 minutes.

Serve topped with drained spring onions.
