I think this Japanese recipe for Nabeyaki Udon (udon hot pot) appeals to our family for New Year's Day because we spent the Christmas holiday eating rich foods and too many desserts. Nabe — which is the name for the ceramic pot it's cooked in — is healthy, and there are a lot of varieties. The best part is you can use what you have on hand for meat and vegetables. Feel free to adlib with this recipe. There are many nabe recipes easily searchable on the internet.
