Best 7 Supreme Hot Pot Recipes

CHINESE HOT POT AT HOME

Steps:

• Place boiling soup base or stock in a wide, shallow pot the center of the table on a portable electric burner.
• Place individual plates of raw ingredients on the table, along with dipping sauce ingredients.
• Have each diner mix their own dipping sauce while the pot of soup comes to a boil. Once boiling, begin adding ingredients to the pot. Be sure to cook ingredients through before consuming, and allow the pot to boil for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute after adding any raw meat or seafood.

HOT POT AT HOME

Steps:

• For the pork broth: Fill a 7-quart Dutch oven with 12 cups cold water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, soak the pork bones in cold water in a large bowl, to remove some of the blood, for about 20 minutes or until the water boils. Add the bones to the pot and boil until the water darkens and there's a lot of foam on the surface, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse the bones and clean the pot of any residue.
• Return the pork bones to the pot and add the carrots, corn, daikon and 16 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the broth is very milky, about 2 1/2 hours. Skim off any dark proteins and fat, then lightly season with salt.
• Transfer the pork broth, along with the bones and other solids, which will continue to flavor the broth, to an 11-inch hot pot pot with a divider. Add the chili oil to one side of the pot. Place the pot on a portable butane burner and bring to a boil over high heat.
• For the components: Meanwhile, arrange the beef, fish, cabbage, spinach, potatoes, pumpkin, eggs, fish tofu and udon noodles on plates or platters, as you like. Set out at least two pairs of chopsticks or tongs and small strainer baskets (these are useful when cooking more fragile ingredients, such as fish, tofu and the like). As for the chopsticks/tongs, let everyone know not to use the same pair for picking up raw and cooked meat and fish.
• For the condiments: Create a "dipping sauce station" with any of the condiments, along with a bunch of small plates and bowls. Each person can mix and match them as they like.
• Once the broth is boiling, start cooking! Let each person cook their own ingredients in the broth (the side with the chili oil is spicier), being mindful not to overcrowd the pot. If the broth reduces too much and you still have raw ingredients left, add some warm water to the pot and bring to a boil. If you like, you can eat the marrow from the pork bones.
• Proteins-Thinly sliced chicken, pork or lamb, mini-pork sausages, low-sodium luncheon meat cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, shellfish, fish cakes, tofu
• Vegetables-sweet potato, kabocha squash, watercress, bok choy, corn on the cob, lotus root, kale, chile peppers, tomato, bean sprouts, enoki, shiitake or button mushrooms
• Noodles, etc.-ramen noodles, rice noodles, konjac noodle knots, dumplings, rice cakes, dried tofu sticks
• Stir together the Pork Broth, BBQ sauce, sesame paste, oyster sauce, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic and scallions in a small bowl until combined.

PORK SUPREME

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and onions; cook until evenly browned. Add mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes. Remove pork and vegetables and place on a side dish.
• Return pan to heat, add butter and stir until melted. Add flour; stir constantly until a paste forms. Slowly add milk and stir until gravy thickens. Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and salt. Return pork mixture to pan, stir and simmer until meat is tender. Serve over noodles or rice.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO HOT POT AT HOME

Steps:

• Partially frozen is significantly easier to cut into thin slices, since it holds its shape when you cut it.
• Wash and rinse your vegetables / mushrooms. If you're using tofu (make sure it's firm), then cut it into cubes.
• Before my dad starts cutting meat (or anything), he usually puts a towel underneath the cutting board so it's more stable. Speaking from decades of experience, this helped him avoid many cuts (but not all) in the kitchen.
• This is much clearer in the video, but here are my dad's steps to preparing fresh squid for hot pot:
• We'll cut our about half of our tilapia fillets into ~1 cm slices, and marinate it with salt, cornstarch, water, and white pepper (to taste).
• My dad's epic homemade fish balls deserve their own recipe page (will be live soon).
• All we need to do is peel our daikon, cut it in half, and then cut it up into about 1 cm slices. We'll start boiling our hot pot broth with daikon, and then eat it at the end after it's soaked up all of the delicious flavors from the other foods.
• For my dad's dipping sauce, we'll be mixing light soy sauce, Shacha sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, chicken bouillon, chili oil, and boiled water.

SUPREME HOT POT

Steps:

• To make the soup, place all the broth ingredients in a large pot, cover with cold water and simmer, skimming often, for 4 hours. Remove from heat. Strain the broth, discarding the vegetables and the chicken, and refrigerate. Remove the layer of fat that forms on the surface.
• To make the dumplings, process the shrimp in a food processor until it is a fine paste. Add the remaining ingredients and process briefly to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Gather it together and throw it against the bowl about 10 times until the mass is firm. With damp hands, form the mixture into 20 balls.
• Place half of the chicken broth in a pot, bring to a simmer and gently add the shrimp dumplings. Allow the broth to reach a boil and continue simmering the dumplings for 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove them from the broth, place in a colander, cool completely under cold, running water and set aside. Strain the broth into a clean container and set aside.
• To make the pork rolls, lightly beat the eggs and place near the stove. Combine the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and place near the stove along with a glass of ice water and a teaspoon and a tablespoon measure.
• Place a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and move the skillet around until the oil completely covers the bottom of it. When the oil is hot, drop a tablespoon of the egg mixture into the skillet. Immediately dip the teaspoon into the ice water, fill it with the pork mixture and place the mixture on one half of the small pancake. With a spatula, fold the other side over to create a miniature omelet. Flip to cook on the other side and immediately remove to a tray and set aside. Repeat until you have used up the pork mixture, adding oil as needed.
• To complete the hot pot, place the reserved chicken broth and the strained broth used for cooking the shrimp in a large pot, preferably one that can be used to serve from at the table. Bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper to taste. Add the mushrooms and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the fresh shrimp and cook for 3 minutes. Add the cabbage and cellophane noodles and continue cooking until the pot begins to simmer.
• Carefully add the shrimp dumplings and then the pork rolls in egg wrapper to the soup. Cover. Simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Place the pot in the middle of the table and ladle into soup bowls.
