Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all your vegetables and mushrooms for the hot pot. If you’re using dried shiitake mushrooms, soak them in lukewarm water until fully rehydrated. Don’t discard the soaking water; it adds a wonderful aroma to the broth! Fresh shiitake mushrooms are also a great option.
Step 2
Slice the king oyster mushrooms and oyster mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Trim the root end of the enoki mushrooms and separate them into strands. Arrange the prepared mushrooms and the cleaned bok choy, zucchini, onion, and green onion attractively in your hot pot. If you don’t have ready-made broth, place the dried anchovies at the bottom of the pot to create a flavorful base. For added texture, you can also layer bean sprouts at the bottom. (Using homemade anchovy broth will make this even quicker.)
Step 3
Pour the prepared broth or water into the hot pot. If you used dried shiitake mushrooms, add their soaking water to the pot for an extra layer of flavor. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once simmering, add the minced garlic and soy sauce for soup to season the broth. Finally, add the dumplings and cook until they are fully cooked through. Your delicious Mushroom and Dumpling Hot Pot is ready to be enjoyed!
