Secrets to Achieving a Perfectly Flavored Seafood Hotpot, Just Like in Restaurants

Ingredients for the hotpot broth and dipping sauce: beef bones, mackerel, quality fish sauce, salt, seasoning powder, garlic, chili, fresh lime, chili powder.

Reveal the secret to making seafood hotpot broth at home as delicious as in high-end restaurants!

First, clean beef bones, drain, cut into large pieces, blanch in hot water, then transfer to another pot. Add water, simmer for about 2 hours over low heat, and be sure to skim off the foam for a clearer broth.

Clean mackerel, slice the meat for hotpot, and reserve the fish bones. When the broth is boiling, add the fish bones and let it simmer for another half an hour before turning off the heat.

Fish bones are one of the secrets behind the rich and savory taste of seafood hotpot broth.

Remove the broth pot from the heat, use a sieve to filter out all bones and residue, leaving only the clear liquid. Place it back on the stove and bring it to a boil.

Thinly slice the base of the lemongrass, crush the stalk, and when the broth is boiling, add the crushed lemongrass to infuse the aromatic flavor.

Strain the broth and continue boiling.

Heat a pan, add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then add crushed garlic, thinly sliced lemongrass, and chili flakes to sauté for fragrance. Add a teaspoon of chili powder, mix well, then turn off the heat. Pour this mixture into the simmering bone broth, and the broth will turn a beautiful red color with a hint of spice.

Now, taste the broth and adjust the seasoning to your liking before dipping your hotpot ingredients!

To make a delicious seafood hotpot, a flavorful dipping sauce is a must. Don't forget to use quality fish sauce, mix it with a bowl of lime, garlic, and spicy chili sauce for dipping shrimp, fish, squid, vegetables, and more into your hotpot!
