Everything you need to know about hotpot

For a successful hotpot evening, you essentially only need a few things: a hotpot pot, a delicious broth or soup base, various ingredients, and a dipping sauce. Think of meat, fish, tofu, vegetables, and noodles. With hotpot accessories like a skimmer, bowls, and chopsticks, you can complete the experience.

When making hotpot, you can use a wide variety of ingredients. Popular choices include thinly sliced beef, chicken, shrimp, fish, tofu, mushrooms, bok choy, napa cabbage, corn, potato, dumplings, and various types of noodles. The fun part is that you can vary it endlessly and decide what you like best.

As a guideline, you can count on approximately 300–400 grams of ingredients per person, depending on what you serve and how many different ingredients you choose. For a meal with a lot of vegetables and noodles, you often need less meat or fish. When in doubt, a little too much is better than too little: leftover ingredients can often be used the next day.

On average, allow 1.5 to 2.5 hours for an enjoyable hotpot evening. There's no fixed end time: you cook small portions continually and eat at your leisure. It's precisely the shared cooking, conversation, and trying out different ingredients that make hotpot so enjoyable.

Yes! Hot pot is actually fun for children because they can choose what they want to eat. Opt for a mild broth and ingredients that children enjoy, such as noodles, dumplings, corn, mushrooms, and thinly sliced meat. Do pay close attention to the temperature of the broth and always keep an eye on young children around the hot pot.

That's not necessary at all. Hotpot can be both mild and very spicy. You decide which soup base and dipping sauce to use. For beginners or children, a mild broth is a good choice. Do you love spicy food? Then you can choose a spicy hotpot base or add extra chili to your dipping sauce.

With fondue, you usually cook ingredients in hot oil, cheese, or chocolate, while with hotpot, you cook ingredients in a hot broth.

This makes hotpot a complete meal where you can endlessly vary with meat, fish, vegetables, tofu, dumplings, and noodles.

Some frozen products can be placed directly into the hotpot, but this varies per product. Therefore, always check the preparation instructions on the packaging. Please note that frozen products can temporarily lower the temperature of the broth.
