Hey everyone, welcome to Qinma's hotpot broth guide! Hotpot is a fun, delicious, and meal perfect for sharing with family and friends. It’s a great way to spend time with someone, and the broth is really important because it imparts flavor to all the good ingredients you are going to use.” Today I will give you a guide on how to make delicious hotpot broth that everyone will enjoy!
Now that you have your ingredients, it’s time to get them ready. First Step: WASH ALL YOUR INGREDIANTS Slice the ginger and garlic into thin slices. Finely chop green onion. Prepare everything for the following steps!
Then, put a enough pot with the water inside it. You need to warm water until it begins bubbling. Boiling water means it is hot enough to cook the ingredients. When the water is boiling, gently drop in the sliced ginger, garlic and chopped green onion into the pot. This is where the broth begins to develop its great flavor!
Now it’s time to add a few more ingredients for additional flavor. At this point, you can add in the mushrooms, goji berries, and dried tangerine peel. All of these will contribute their unique flavor to the broth, enhancing it even more!
After adding all your ingredients, allow the broth to simmer. Reduce the heat to keep the pot at a gentle simmer. Give it a few moments to simmer, about 30 minutes at least. The more time you allow the broth to simmer, the more the flavors will meld, creating a richly flavored broth. It is like allowing a soup to improve and improve!
Once the broth has simmered, it’s also time to finish it off. Strain out the solids (the ginger, the garlic, the onions) This leaves you with only the broth that you can for your hotpot. And there you go, your hotpot broth is now ready and can be added into your meal!
Eat More Vegetables: One way to make your hotpot a little healthier is to ensure you toss more vegetables in there as well. Bok choy, carrots and mushrooms are good choices and will brighten up your plate.
