Best 4 Broth For Mongolian Hot Pot Recipes

RED CURRY HOT POT BROTH

Steps:

• For the broth, heat oil in 6-quart stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in stock, curry paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder and ginger. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir lime juice into broth just before serving.
• Place proteins, vegetables, noodles, and garnishes in bowls or on plates for guests to customize their meal.
• To serve, pour broth into one or both sides of the hot pot, depending upon whether you're offering one broth or two different broths. Cook the vegetables and proteins in the broth and ladle over noodles or rice.
• NOTE: Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker Method
• Multifunction Electric Pressure Cooker Method (Saves 1 hr. cooking time): Heat oil on medium sauté setting in pot of multi-function electric pressure cooker (instant pot). Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in stock, curry paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder and ginger. Cover and lock lid into place. Set to cook 10 minutes on high pressure (or Soup setting). Vent pot and release pressure before opening and carefully remove lid. (Check manufacturer's manual for safe operating instructions.) Set on low sauté setting. Stir in lime juice. Allow guests to cook steak in broth, about 2 to 3 minutes or until desired doneness. Customize individual bowls and serve as directed.

TRADITIONAL MONGOLIAN HOT POT WITH LAMB

Steps:

• Cut the lamb into paper-thin rectangular slices. Slice the bean curd.
• Wash, drain, and chop the vegetables. Prepare any side dishes that you are planning to serve.
• Lay the lamb, chopped vegetables, and side dishes on separate platters on the table. Place the dipping sauces on the table in small individual bowls. Make sure each guest has a complete place setting, including a dipping fork (color-coded if possible) and a small bowl for placing the cooked food.
• Bring the broth with the dark soy sauce to a boil, and add the ginger and green onion. Transfer enough broth so that the fondue pot is approximately 2/3 to 3/4 full. (How much broth you need will depend on the size of the fondue pot.)
• Place the fondue pot on the burner, and keep it simmering throughout the meal. Keep the remaining broth warming on the stovetop.
• To serve, invite guests to spear the food with a dipping fork and cook briefly in the broth until cooked, then dip the cooked food in the sauces as desired.
• Use a dipping basket to cook the vegetables in batches in the hot broth and ladle out into the soup bowls. Cook the noodles and serve at the end of the meal.

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.

MONGOLIAN HOT POT

Steps:

• Combine the sherry, ginger, soy sauce, 1 tbsp oil, brown sugar, corn starch, garlic, red pepper flakes, and beef in a resealable plastic bag and seal. Turn several times to coat and marinate 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
• Heat a large wok or pot over high heat. Add 1 tsp oil. Lift the beef from the marinade with a slotted spoon, reserving the marinade. Quickly stir-fry the beef until lightly browned on both sides, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add the remaining oil and stir-fry the bok choy, shitakes, scallions, and carrots for 1-2 minutes. Add the reserved marinade, stock, water, and hoison sauce. Bring to a boil. Stir in the noodles and simmer until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Return the beef to the wok or pot, cooking just long enough for the beef to heat through. Finish with a few drops of Chinese hot pepper oil. Do not let it sit before serving, or the noodles with absorb the liquid and swell!
