I’d love to share this flavorful and delicious asian hot-pot inspired recipe with you.
If you’ve never ordered a hot-pot from your favorite asian restaurant, do so. There are usually a variety of noodles/toppings to choose from with a savory broth in a giant bowl. It is such a treat, no matter what time of year it is. Hot pots can be as simple or complex as you’d like them to be, depending on where you go.
This recipe is quick, and easy to customize for your at home hot pot. Add fish, braised beef, root veggies, or extra herbs. this one calls for chow mein or soba noodles, which you can usually find in the asian section of a grocery store. Traditional ramen is fine too (leave that sauce packet though)! You will need vegetable stock as the for the broth, which can be bought or made ahead. (coming soon: savory vegetable broth recipe)
