Mizutaki is a type of nabe, or hot pot dish, from the Kyushu region located at the southern tip of Japan. Typically this dish is cooked on a portable stove at a dining table so that diners can choose their ingredients. Mizutaki consists of chicken and vegetables in a kombu dashi served with ponzu for dipping. In our recipe we poach the components to produce a flavorful broth using the Sous Vide setting. Garnish with togarashi for some welcome heat.
