Notes when cooking spicy and sour Thai hot pot
- If you don't have ready-made Thai hot pot sauce, you can make it yourself by following these steps: Heat some oil, then sauté tomatoes for a while. Add galangal, lemongrass, shallots, chili powder, and a bit of Chinese five-spice powder. Stir until you smell the characteristic aroma of Thai hot pot, then add broth and continue cooking following the steps above.
- You can replace the vegetables according to your taste, and if you can't handle spicy food, you can add less spicy sauce or omit it altogether.
- When simmering the broth, if you have time, simmer it for more than 1 hour so that the bones release all their sweetness, then the hot pot broth will be even more delicious.
- If you add clams to the hot pot, remember to season the broth less than usual, so that when you add the clams, it will be just right.
- Adding kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass will enhance the flavor of the Thai hot pot. The boiling pot emits a fragrant scent of lemongrass and spicy chili, the rich and flavorful taste when eating seafood won't be overwhelmed by any fishiness because it's masked by the aromatic broth. Enjoying spicy and sour Thai hot pot on a chilly day like this is simply wonderful, isn't it?
