Ingredients
- 1 package hot pot soup mix (see notes for substitution)
- 1 lb meat (at least 2 kinds, thinly sliced ribeye and pork jowl preferred)
- 1 lb seafood (at least 2 kinds, shrimp and salmon preferred)
- 1.5 lb vegetables (oyster mushrooms, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes preferred)
- 1 lb tofu (1/2 firm and 1/2 tofu puffs preferred)
- 8 dumplings (such as gyoza or potstickers)
- 8 fish balls
- 8 meatballs (vietnamese preferred, ikea if needed)
- 1 lb noodles (frozen sanuki udon preferred)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (sweet soy sauce preferred)
- 2 tbsp green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Thai bird’s eye chili (sliced, optional)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp shacha (optional)
Steps
-
Arrange all ingredients on separate platters, keeping the meats together, seafood together, and dumplings and meatballs together, so as not to cross contaminate. Or just arrange each ingredient on its own plate.
-
Combine your soup mix with enough water to fill the pot 1” from the top. Bring your soup to a boil at the table. See notes for soup mix alternatives.
-
Make the sauces: combine sauce ingredients and let sit for 1 minute in two separate bowls. Taste and adjust as needed. See post for sauce alternatives.
-
Set place settings, divvy up sauces, and pour drinks. Prepare and set aside a carafe or pitcher of water to refill the soup when it gets low. Enjoy!
