Sumo stew (Chanko Nabe) is the go to when recovering physically from illness for me.

It’s also a fantastic meal prep since I always make a huge batch when I make it.

No real measurements here - start simmering some broth (I’m using beef bone broth but traditionally this is made with fish broth). I add a little soy sauce, sesame oil and white wine to it.

As the giant pot of broth gets up to a simmer I take pork and beef and mix it up with egg, green onion, garlic, ginger, and white onion.

Then I add into the simmering broth some daikon and carrots and let those go for a couple minutes before spooning in my meatballs. I make them about a tbsp size each using my spoon to form them. It takes around 30 minutes to make sure they’re cooked through in the simmering broth.

Towards the end I add in a bunch of miso paste, mushrooms, Napa cabbage, bok choy and tofu.

I’ll be eating this for the next 4-5 days to help my body get back up to speed.
