Number Of Ingredients 7

2 onions
10 ounces carrots
2 1/4 lbs potatoes
1 lb lean ground beef
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 (14 ounce) can baked beans
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Cut each onion into 8 wedges. Roughly chop the carrots and cut the potatoes into large chunks. Put the kettle on.
  • Heat a large non stick pan, add the ground beef and fry quickly, stirring all the time until evenly browned.
  • Crumble in the stock cubes and mix well.
  • Add the vegetables, stir them in and add 3 3/4 cups boiling water from the kettle. Bring to the boil.

  • Ladle into bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: For a tender and flavorful hotpot, select cuts of meat that are well-marbled, such as ribeye, chuck roast, or brisket. If you prefer leaner meat, flank steak or sirloin can be used.
  • Slice the meat thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly in the hotpot.
  • Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, garlic, and green onions will enhance its taste.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: A good mix of vegetables will add color, texture, and nutrients to your hotpot. Some popular choices include bok choy, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, and tofu.
  • Prepare the dipping sauce: The dipping sauce is an essential part of the hotpot experience. A simple combination of soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil can be used, or you can experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique sauce.
  • Cook the food in stages: Start by adding the meat and vegetables that take the longest to cook. As they become tender, add the remaining ingredients and cook until everything is heated through.
  • Enjoy the hotpot with friends and family: Hotpot is a social dish that is best enjoyed in the company of others. Gather your loved ones around the table and share a delicious and memorable meal.
