Pandemic Diary #76 – hot pot at home

buy induction stove ~$40
pot
scoop ladle (ideally draining one)
4 plates (for cooling stuff) – you want to scoop out the meat before it cooks into sadness, and the noodles can dissolve, as well as the veggies
4 bowls (for individual dipping sauce bowls)
communal chopsticks for dipping into the pot

ingredients

vermicelli noodles
enoki and oyster mushrooms
scallions (for dipping sauce)
napa cabbage, chinese … veggies of some kind, you want thin stuff that cooks fast
lotus root, so tasty
fish balls
hot pot base seasoning (can also just use chicken boullion cubes)
dried mushrooms and kelp
tofu poof balls (don’t get the other tofu thing, was gross)
Lots of thinly sliced meat (available from hmart) ~ 3 to 4 packs
