Japanese Offal Hot Pot

Motsunabe is a flavourful hot pot dish made with offal, cabbage and chives cooked in a delicious broth. Although it comes in a variety of flavours, my recipe uses a homemade soy based broth flavoured with garlic and chilis, it's seriously addictive and goes perfectly with noodles!
