Home Cooked - Chinese hot pot!
When Covid hit the US many families were put to the test. There were serious health risks and concerns and suddenly that meant not being around the giant standing room wait list at our favorite Hot Pot places in crowded Chinatown in Chicago. What to do! Then it dawned on us…hot pot is done at home in East Asian by families all the time. We love it so much, why not do it ourselves! So we ordered the gear online and went shopping at H-Mart downtown. It took a few tries…
Here are all of the things we purchased to make this happen:
Soup Mix
Spicy
Plain
Hot Pot supplies - HMart
Broth
Spicy - For every session use ¾ of each of the ingredients included in the package
Plain - For every session use ½ of each of the in the package
Add extra garlic cloves and ginger to each side and bay leaves but leave in the pot.
If feeling extra spicy, you can add extra peppers for the hot side?
