Yeah we’ve been having it a lot too! I love making my own base because the sort we like you can’t really get out here. We both loveeee the soy milk broth (don’t knock it til you’ve tried it. I was out off by the idea for so long and I regret denying myself something so tasty for so many years). And I’ve doing a really good kimchi base.
This one will be interesting because I think it’ll be a case of too many cooks in the kitchen. There’s a mix of chinese, Korean and Japanese people going (+ me, the token Australian) and they all have different cultural opinions on what a hot pot should be. Me, I’m just along for the ride/delicious food.
(And thanks! I tried to think of something cooler and edgier, like something from a Junji Into manga or something, but nah. The 90s wren won out)
I was going to ask if you buy a base from somewhere - the only issue I have with the one we buy is that is has a tonne of sodium in it.
And yeah, that sounds like the recipe (pun intended) for a potential disaster with so many different opinions, but it could also be a beautiful, chaotic moment that results in the ultimate fusion.
