- Napa Cabbage or Chinese Cabbage, 20 leaves or more (adjust by size)
- Green Onion, 1 stalk
- Zucchini, 1/2 to 1 (optional, can be omitted)
- Onion, 1/2
- Cheongyang Chili Pepper, 1-2 (optional, for spiciness)
Seasoning Mix
- Miso Paste, 2 Tbsp
- Anchovy Sauce, 2 Tbsp
- Minced Garlic, 1 Tbsp
- Sesame Oil, 2 Tbsp
- Black Pepper, 0.5 Tbsp (or to taste)
- Miso Paste, 2 Tbsp
- Anchovy Sauce, 2 Tbsp
- Minced Garlic, 1 Tbsp
- Sesame Oil, 2 Tbsp
- Black Pepper, 0.5 Tbsp (or to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Slice the green onion into thick, bite-sized pieces. Cut the napa cabbage into manageable pieces, similar in size to the zucchini. Slice the onion into strips. If you enjoy a spicy kick, thinly slice the Cheongyang chili peppers diagonally.
Step 2
Gently pat the beef dry with paper towels to remove excess blood. In a bowl, combine the dried beef with 2 Tbsp of miso paste, 2 Tbsp of anchovy sauce, 1 Tbsp of minced garlic, 2 Tbsp of sesame oil, and 0.5 Tbsp of black pepper. Mix well by gently massaging the ingredients into the beef to marinate. Let it sit to absorb the flavors.
Step 3
Now, get your hot pot ready. Arrange the marinated beef at the bottom of the pot. Layer the prepared napa cabbage, zucchini, and onion on top of the beef. Pour in 1 liter of water, ensuring it covers all the ingredients.
Step 4
Start cooking over high heat. Once the broth comes to a rolling boil, add the sliced green onions and Cheongyang chili peppers. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage and beef are tender. Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. This will be your delicious hot pot!
Step 5
Voila! Your warm and delicious Beef and Napa Cabbage Hot Pot is ready. 🍲✨
