Bring the fun of traditional hot pot to your home with flavorful, Asian-style broth and fresh ingredients simmered to perfection over an electric burner at the dinner table. No burner, no problem! Gather 'round kitchen stove and serve or cook it ahead of time.
Preparation
STEP 1
Prep all your chosen ingredients and arrange on plates for easy viewing and selecting.
STEP 2
Heat broth on stove until simmering. Either cook noodles directly in broth or in a separate pot of water for adding later.
STEP 3
Using chop sticks or tongs, add your selected proteins and veggies into simmering broth.
STEP 4
Once meat is cooked and veggies are tender (happens quickly, about 2 minutes) ladle broth, noodles, proteins, and vegetables into individual bowl. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces. Repeat in remaining broth trying different combos until full and happy!
Options
Instant hot pot broth packs make things very easy, but if you want to make your own broth heat 8 cups (enough for 4-6 people) of broth (chicken, beef, or veg) with 4 slices fresh ginger, 2 cloves smashed garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil.
Soup base can be bulked up with chicken broth and if it is too spicy you can add milk, soy milk, or cream to tame the flavor.
