Hotpot at Home

Another spot we miss being able to visit is hotpot (shout out to Swish Swish!). Going with the theme from last week, we’re having it at home instead.

Things needed for hotpot include a burner (we’ve had an induction burner forever) and a big enough pot/bowl/vessel. Jeff randomly found a new bowl that would work at the Asian market recently so we were all set. He also made a pork bone broth to use as the cooking liquid and then bought a ton of items to put into the hotpot.

As you can probably tell from the picture (that I stole from Jeff) above, the home setup was a great success. The meats were all tasty, there was plenty of tofu (one of my faves), and we discovered tofu skin “noodles” - a new must have in my book. We’re definitely still missing our favorite spots, but making the things we crave at home is the next best option.
