Detailed Steps for Cooking Single-Serving Easy Hot Pot
Start by washing the meatballs and quail eggs!
Clean the enoki mushrooms, make a cross-shaped cut on the shiitake mushrooms, and cut the cilantro into sections for later use.
Place everything except the meatballs into a stewing pot.
Pour in boiling water, cover with a lid, and preheat for five minutes. (This step is crucial, make sure the stewing pot preheats the ingredients and cups.)
While preheating the stewing pot, prepare the hot pot base by adding one piece of red tofu to 400g of water.
If you’re worried the meatballs won’t cook through, add them to the base while cooking. Once it boils and the red tofu dissolves, it’s ready!
Drain all the boiling water from the stewing pot, add the hot pot base and meatballs, cover with a lid, and let it stew for one to two hours!
Remove the lid, transfer to a bowl, add cilantro, and enjoy!
Making hot pot with a stewing pot is simple, and with the addition of red tofu, it’s spicy and delicious.
