Its hotpot time!!!

My gods with how cold it is lately hotpot sounds like the perfect dinner idea! So where we go!

Yum yum! So lets get started!

♤What youll need non food wise ♤

1) hot pot pot ~ easy to find on amazon or your local Asian supermarket mine was $25

2) hot plate ~ so many places sell one. I went with electric since its easiest

3) cooking chopsticks ~ longer chopsticks makes it easier to put in and take out the ingredients

4) slotted spoons

5) laddle

♡Ingredients♡

°please note! Hotpot is very much catered to your own likes so mine is more a basic guidelines but add anything! °

1) half a diakon ~ thinly sliced

2) 2 potatos ~ thin slices

3) 3 carrots ~ cut anyway but small enough to cook quick

4) meat! ~ we used presliced hotpot meat from TNT along with a thinly sliced steak

5) half a cucumber ~ sliced

6) 1 head of broccoli ~ cut up to bite sizes

7) instant ramen ~ 1 pack per person OR any kind of noodles you like! Glassnoodles are also amazing

8) soy sauce ~ for dipping and to flavour broth to taste

9) little sheep hotpot flavour (we used mild) ~ we got it at TNT but I’ve seen amazon sell it, you can alsp use any kind of broth

10) salt & pepper

11) garlic! ~ we ended up using 4 cloves. Its for flavour so cater it to your taste

♡Steps♡

1) clear off your table and set up the electric burner and hotpot pot.

2) fill with water (or broth) with about a inch from the top. Dont overfill! Youre putting stuff in so you don’t want it to high

3) once water is boiled add little sheep falvour pack, splash of soy and 2 cloves of garlic per side.

4) add noodles to let it cook before everything else goes in

5) start adding your meat and veggies and enjoy!!

◇foxy tips◇

Rice is a good side if you dont like noodles. You can poor your broth ontop for great flavour!

Remember that consuming under cooked meat is unhealthy. Please make sure you pay attention to your meat to make sure its fully cooked before consuming

I hope you all enjoyed!
