Ginger-Garlic Broth

If you don’t have time or bones available to make your broth from scratch simply doctor up your favorite broth with the garlic and ginger. Instead of simmering for hours, it will become tastiness within about 20 minutes. The vinegar is used to help draw out the healthy minerals in the bones, but is optional.

Chinese Hot Pot

A Chinese Hot Pot is a fun, interactive meal of cooking your dinner at the table. Start with a lovely broth, our Ginger-Garlic Broth recipe is especially nice for this. An actual hot pot device is available as well, but an electric wok, fondue or crockpot can be used on the highest settings instead. Use this recipe as a guideline to start. Allow yourself to be inspired by the meat & veggies depending on what you have available. Simply slice them thin so they cook up quickly. Shrimp and Chinese fish balls are also lovely additions, but not listed in this recipe. For a vegan option, use ‘no-chicken’ or vegetarian broth and increase the tofu amount or add some seitan or tempeh instead.
