A couple weeks ago, while it was still cold in Boston (It’s been 70 degrees for the past 10 days), we all got together for a traditional family-style hot-pot. I’d only had hot pot one other time previous to this occasion so I was a little unfamiliar, but it doesn’t take a long time to catch onto how it works. A bunch of people put a pot of soup on some sort of burner, drop raw food into the boiling broth to cook, and then remove the food and eat it
Anyway, there were three different broths : Tom Yum, Miso, and Chicken. As main ingredients, we had the following (not enough meat for me though!) : Squid, Fish balls, Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Watercress, 2 different mushrooms, Clams, 2 types of tofu, taro, tomato, broccoli, chives, cabbage, turnip, and some udon noodles. As you could probably tell, it was a LOT to eat.
Here are the pictures!
