My favourite recipe
- Winter hotpot Ingredients: The ingredients for hotpot are very flexible.
- You can put whatever you like in the hotpot.
- Here are some common choices: I.
- Meat: Thin slices of beef/ fatty pork, such as shoulder or skinless belly, cut into large chunks/Lamb/seafood/veggie II.
- Vegetables: Tomatoes/potatoes/Greens like spinach, Chinese cabbage/Green beans/Mushrooms… III.
- Spices: Star anise/Cinnamon stick/Bay leaves/Peppercorn/Red chilli/Ginger Method: Step 1 Making hotpot base The base is the soul of a hotpot.
- The most common way to make a base is to use soup stock.
- Beef/Chicken/Lamb soups are all suitable for hotpots.
- And if you think it is not that convenient to make a base by yourself, you can also buy the prepared base at Amazon or almost any Chinese grocery store.
- Step 2 Put all spices into the base Step 3 Enjoy!
- Keep heating the hotpot and put whatever you like into the hotpot Why I like it: I learnt this dish from my father, and he made lots of hotspots for the family during winter.
- As you can see it is super easy to cook and also very flexible.
- Everyone can find their favourite ingredients inside the hotpot.
- For me, it is a connection with close family members and friends.
- Different from serving of individual dishes, having a hotpot together means everyone eats in the same pot.
- That is really intimate and I wouldn’t feel comfortable eating this way with strangers.
- However, having a hotpot together with your closest family and friends can be the warmest thing during the cold winter.
- Alongside the dish: Since traditional hotpots are salty and spicy, I would like to serve it with a lighter flavour.
- Fruits are a good choice.
- Squeeze some lemon juice on the hot, salty, spicy meat slice, you will feel the beauty of life.
- For drinks, I would recommend Jasmine Tea.
- It has a mild flavour with fragrance which also aids digestion.
- ( people always tend to eat too much when they have hotpot.) This recipe was written by Ann.
