Ingredients

  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon szechuan peppercorns
  • 8 pieces dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef
  • 0.5 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 block firm tofu, cubed
  • 1 head napa cabbage, sliced
  • 4 pieces baby bok choy, halved
  • 1 bunch enoki mushrooms
  • 2 bunches udon noodles
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 0.5 cup scallions, sliced
  • 2 pieces lime wedges
  • 2 tablespoons red chili paste

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, sliced ginger, szechuan peppercorns, and dried shiitake mushrooms. Allow the broth to simmer gently for 30 minutes to develop flavors.

Step 2

While the broth is simmering, prepare the dipping ingredients and sides: arrange thinly sliced beef, shrimp, cubed tofu, napa cabbage, baby bok choy, enoki mushrooms, and udon noodles on separate plates.

Step 3

After the broth has simmered, transfer it to a portable electric or gas stove set on the table. Each guest should have a small bowl to mix their preferred dipping sauce using fish sauce, cilantro, scallions, and a squeeze of lime.

Step 4

Place the red chili paste, or any other desired condiments, on the table alongside the hotpot setup for additional flavor customization.

Step 5

To eat, each person tosses their chosen ingredients into the bubbling broth until cooked through. Cooking times will vary (beef and shrimp take about 3 minutes, tofu and vegetables around 5 minutes, noodles approximately 7 minutes).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the ingredients using slotted utensils, dip them in personalized sauce, and enjoy!

Step 7

Periodically skim off any impurities or foam from the surface of the broth to maintain a clean flavor throughout the meal.
