Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 fish balls cut in half
- 2 dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated and sliced
- 3 oz firm tofu diced into ½ inch cubes
- 4 oz thinly sliced beef
- ⅓ cup bok choy roughly chopped into small pieces
- ½ cup napa cabbage roughly chopped into small pieces
Hotpot Broth
- 2.5 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 inch ginger minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 dried Sichuan red chilies optional
Dipping Sauce
- 2.5 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon low-sodium chicken broth or water
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe glass container or bowl, add the fish balls, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, sliced beef, bok choy, and napa cabbage. Spread everything out evenly and gently tucking so they are snug without overcrowding.
- In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chicken broth, and dried red chilies (if using). Stir well, then pour the broth evenly over the hotpot ingredients.
- Cover the container with a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 6 minutes or until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- While the hotpot cooks, combine the soy sauce, chicken broth or water, chili oil, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, chopped green onion, and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Carefully remove the hotpot from the microwave (it will be hot) and remove the plate. Enjoy immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
