Mushroom And Chicken Hot Pot Recipes

MUSHROOM AND CHICKEN HOT POT

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a small bowl; add 2 cups warm water. Let soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain in a sieve lined with a paper towel or coffee filter, reserving liquid. With a paring knife, remove stems; discard. Thinly slice caps.
• In a large stockpot, heat canola oil over medium heat. Cook garlic and crushed red pepper, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add broth, soy sauce, reserved liquid, and 1 cup water; bring to a boil.
• Add chicken; reduce to a simmer. Cover; cook until chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken; let cool, then shred meat.
• Add bok-choy stems and bell pepper to pot; cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Stir in bok-choy greens. Ladle into bowls, and top with shredded chicken.

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.
