This nut-free adaptation of the beloved Thai barbecue hotpot brings irresistible flavors, featuring marinated pork belly, tender chicken thigh, plump shrimp, and an array of fresh vegetables like baby corn, morning glory, and cabbage. Cooked on a dome-shaped grill with a moat of savory chicken broth, this dish combines grilling and simmering for a unique dining experience. Serve it with rice vermicelli noodles and a zesty, chili-infused dipping sauce for a complete meal. Simple to prepare yet packed with bold flavors, this allergen-friendly mookata is a must-try for fans of Thai cuisine and interactive cooking.
Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Divide the marinade evenly between the pork belly and chicken thigh slices. Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Set up the Mookata grill (a dome-shaped grilling pan with a moat for broth) or a similar alternative device, ensuring you have heat-proof fuel or a portable stove ready for cooking.
Pour the chicken broth into the moat of the Mookata grill and bring it to a simmer. Add the remaining garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to season the broth.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables by washing and trimming the baby corn, water spinach, and cabbage. Soak the rice vermicelli noodles in warm water for 10 minutes until softened, then drain them.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the top using a piece of tongs and a paper towel dipped in the cooking oil. Place the marinated pork, chicken, and shrimp on the grill and cook until golden and cooked through.
Simultaneously, add the vegetables, cabbage, and vermicelli noodles into the simmering broth in the moat to cook them.
For a nut-free Thai dipping sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl.
Serve the grilled meats, cooked shrimp, vegetables, and noodles alongside the flavorful broth. Optional: Crack an egg into a small bowl and use it as an additional dipping sauce to coat cooked meat before eating.
Enjoy the interactive Mookata experience by grilling, eating, and simmering at your own pace with family or friends!
