Last Sunday, we did our version of Super Bowl dinner. We did "yakiniku" (grilled meat) with our table-top Iga-yaki gril, "Yaki Yaki San".
Our special grill, made of the ancient clay from Iga, Japan, was just set on the table-top burner. We got all the ingredients ready. So, all we had to do was just cook, eat, drink...all at the table while watching the gave on TV. We got some beef tri-tip, chicken, and kurobuta "ton-toro" (fatty neck to shoulder meat of kurobuta pork), as well as mushrooms to cook on the grill. We also had some salad and appetizers.
This is a brilliant smokeless table-top grill. All the meat cooked perfectly juicy and flavorful. We also made some "temaki" style by wrapping the meat with donabe rice in nori seaweed.
You can find the basic Yakiniku recipe on toiro's website. Hope you will try it at home.
Happy donabe life.
