Special Hot Pot IngredientsÂ
Most of your basic ingredients you can get at any grocery store. But we love going to our local Asian market and stocking up on special ingredients that really step up our recipes. Since Asian cooking is actually one of my favorite styles of cooking, A LOT of the meals we cook on a weekly basis are Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, or Chinese. Â
Because we eat mostly vegetarian, I really love making Asian dishes that incorporate so many different vegetables and sauces.Â
One of the “Special” ingredients that we love for our Vegetarian Hot Pot, is Enoki mushrooms. They are long, thin mushrooms that have a noodle-like texture.Â
You can also find different types and textures of tofu, fish balls, and noodles. And don’t forget to check out the many different types of soy sauce. Â
You can even find premade hot pot broths. But we like to make our own soup base.Â
