We were invited to a Super Bowl party at our friend's house. It was a potluck party. So...
Our donabe traveled to the party! We brought our Donabe Smoker, "Ibushi Gin", and a variety of ingredients to this very American party.
Indeed the party was very American and I really enjoyed the festivity. There were margarita server, popcorn machine, and even hotdog machine! And, wow, I've never seen "cookies & cream popcorn".
My very Japanese donabe somehow blended in among all the American dishes in the kitchen. We first smoked some shrimp, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms and Swiss cheese. They came out very nice and quickly disappeared as soon as they were plated.
We did the second batch with the chicken drummettes. After 35 minutes, they were so smokey and juicy.
The chicken was served with Wasabi-creme fraiche dipping sauce. Mmm...so delicious. They were all so good that we did more smoking after we returned home.
