Steps for preparing seafood kimchi hotpot

– Crush the garlic and sauté it with 2 small spoonfuls of cooking oil.

– Stir-fry the kimchi for about 4 – 5 minutes.

– Pour 3 bowls of water into the pot after stir-frying the kimchi, then add mushrooms. When it boils, add seafood ingredients such as squid, octopus, shrimp, fish cakes, and sausages. Cook for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then turn off the heat.

– Remove the pot, dip various vegetables and kimchi mushrooms slowly. The hot pot must always be kept hot when eating.

Some notes

– This seafood kimchi hot pot does not require using bones to make broth, but if families prefer, they can boil bone broth.

– To use bone broth, buy 500g of marrow bones, clean and parboil. Discard the boiling water. Marinate the bones with seasoning, salt, sugar, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Put it on the stove, turn it over until the bones firm up, pour water in, and simmer for 60 minutes for delicious bone broth.

– The types of vegetables for hot pot can be changed according to the preferences of each family.
