Hot Pot

After our trip to Portland last February, we've become addicted to hot pot! Hot pot is kinda like fondue (not the thick cheesy or chocolate kind)! We made ours in our electric fondue pot with a vegetable broth base with some sesame oil, garlic, and ginger and chopped up some broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, zucchini, and snow peas (okay, we didn't chop the snow peas!). You toss a few pieces into the broth to cook and then take them out and eat them. We made a dipping sauce with soy, garlic, ginger, hoisin, and sriracha. We also made some rice vermicelli, and at the end of enjoying our veggies we tossed the noodles into the broth and ate them. Of course, we were so full by then that we didn't need the noodles. Eating at such a slow pace means filling up on less food. It's also a ton of fun!
