# Setouchi lemon hot pot

Cook the local flavors once more　/　Iyo, Ehime

A hot pot made with Setouchi lemon broth bought at the Futami roadside station. Ehime is citrus country: third in Japan for mandarin harvest, and lemons are grown in the eastern part of the prefecture. Chinese cabbage from the farmers' market took the lead, with fish, oysters and fish balls, on a night in a town by the sea.

## Ingredients

- Setouchi lemon nabe broth
- Chinese cabbage
- Carrot
- Shiitake
- Leafy greens
- White fish
- Oysters
- Fish balls

## How I made it

1. Cut the Chinese cabbage into chunks
2. Pour the broth into a pot, add the cabbage, carrot, shiitake, greens, fish, oysters and fish balls, and simmer

## This moment in the journey: Setouchi lemon hot pot

Dinner was a hot pot made with the Setouchi lemon broth from the roadside station. I cut the Chinese cabbage into chunks and simmered it in a red pot with carrot, shiitake, greens, white fish, oysters and fish balls. Lemon-scented steam rose from the pot: a night in a town by the sea.
