I was looking forward to today!
When we were last in Berlin I bought a bag of spicy Dan Dan Hot Pot base and for a while I had completely forgotten about it but I rediscovered it the other day and put it in the meal plan. That day I bought so many typically Japanese food items in the Asian supermarket that the cashier asked me whether I like Japanese food and proceeded to tell me that she was Japanese. Of course I needed to try out some of my Japanese sentences and she understood what I was saying (despite some glaring errors as I realised afterwards) and I understood some of what she was saying. That was a bit embarrassing but also exhilarating 😅
For our hot pot I bought some meat that I put in the freezer for 45 minutes to be able to cut it thinly afterwards. What else did I add to the hot pot?
Mushrooms: dried shiitake, Chinese button mushrooms
Vegetables: green beans, carrot, Kohlrabi, parsnip, broccoli
Protein: beef, pork, tiger prawns, smoked tofu (defrosted)
We also had some dipping sauces. My son was in charge of those 🥵🤣
There were some (uncooked) ramen noodles and hot water on standby but we didn’t need them. They will be eaten with the rest of the soup soon.
The family was happy, I was happy, what more could I want for! 🙏🏻
While hotpot is actually easy once you’ve done it a couple of times, it seemed fairly daunting at the beginning. I came across this post today which I think shows well that there is no limit to what you can do:
