In a bit of organizational mix up I had prepared to have nabe, but Yoshi reluctantly had agreed to go with his brother to buy a Macbook (this being the second time as the first time the sales assistant had told them you can’t hook one up to a non-Apple wi fi network *sigh* and they had to come back and ask me first about that). So nabe was delayed for one night, but we also had to make the shirasu gohan (baby sardines/white bait with wakame and rice) which Yoshi had bought – because we’d both managed to buy ingredients which had to be cooked by that day.
*sigh*
In the end I ended up having a sandwich on the planned nabe night (grrrr) and the Macbook wasn’t bought in the end because the only store near us sold out!
*sigh*
We went light on the ingredients for this round of nabe so we could fit in some shirasu gohan at the end.
Anyway here is a shot of a kind of typical nabe set up for us:
White bait, wakame and rice. (which doesn’t really go with nabe but oh well.)

Doesn’t it? Typically, when I eat nabe (or rather, “steamboat”), we do have some fried or deep-fried stuff on the side, and always, always eat with rice.
What my mom likes to do with whitebait is an omelette.
We rarely have anything deep fried with it – we might put some noodles (udon or soba) into the broth last, or it being oshogatsu some toasted mochi.
Oooo whitebait omelettes sound good! And would be a nice calcium boost.
