If you're in need of a little warmth, hot pot has got you covered. There are many variations to try, but Remy Morimoto Park, a wellness content creator and recipe developer based in New York, is bringing you a Japanese version—also known as nabemono—that's vegan and vegetarian-friendly. Your taste buds and belly will thank you for making it.

Nabemono is a classic Japanese dish usually served in a pot of broth, meat, seafood, and vegetables. Its name derives from the traditional pot called nabe and the word mono, which means "things." Inspired by the Lunar New Year, Park created the dish for this time of year. "During this time specifically, it's great to add noodles, symbolizing long life, and mochi, which symbolizes the passing of a year, good health, and prosperity," says Park.

This dish can be eaten during any time of year, but Park enjoys the dish during the colder winter months. Nabemono is a communal dish that is usually enjoyed with a group of people. "It's quite a social dish in that sense—my family would always eat it together or make it when we had guests over," says Park.

Follow the recipe for Park's vegetarian Japanese hot pot. Trust me, you'll have plenty of leftovers.
