Hot Pot at Home

Hot pot is such a nourishing comfort food. We eat it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and many other holidays. I like making a single-serve version at home in my pressure cooker. It’s easy to meal prep, with packets of frozen vegetables, meats, and whatever other toppings you like. The broth is a mix of Little Sheep soup base and Golden curry cubes. My favorite items are enoki mushrooms, kabocha, tripe, fish balls with roe, and corn.


Ingredients

  • Fresh or frozen vegetables and meat

  • Water or broth

  • Hot pot soup base powder, curry cubes, any other seasonings

Instructions

  • Toss everything into the pressure cooker.

  • Fill with a few cups of water or broth of your choice. Season to your liking.

  • High pressure for 5 minutes.

  • Enjoy! With rice and noodles.

It’s barely a recipe. Something so customizable and easy to throw together. I like meal-prepping the individual packets, each with a slice of kabocha, some cubes of carrots, a few slices of tripe, a bundle of enokis, and one fish ball with roe. Instant hot pot at home.

Here’s a takeout version from a restaurant that I aspire to. Delicious broth, a variety of yummy toppings, and rice on the side.
