Shio Koji Hot Pot Recipe – A Healthy Japanese Dish

This Japanese Shio Koji Hot Pot is a super easy dish to make and very tasty and healthy. The broth is subtle, so it does not distract from the deep taste of the fresh organic vegetables. A perfect dish for those cold and wet days! You just can’t go wrong with a nice warm Japanese hot pot!

This is an easy meal to make, with most of your time spent preparing the ingredients. Easily make a meal for a large family without being in the kitchen for hours. In Japan, this is a common dish enjoyed with family and friends in winter and fall.
