As a vegetarian it’s so much fun to watch vegetarian versions of well known foods that don’t compromise on taste!!!❤

usually noodles are put on at the end of the cooking once all the other meats/veggies are cooked, so it can absorb that broth that’s been loaded with flavor from everything else. if it’s put into the broth early along with the rest of the ingredients it runs the risk of being overcooked since one would eat the other ingredients first, so it’s a pretty good way to end the meal with an extra shot of carbs (before desert of course, it looks like a make-your-own-bingfen kind of situation there, really cool!)

I love hotpot so much and I crave it all the time. I’m not a vegetarian but the things I enjoy the most in hot pot are veggies, noodles, especially glass noodles, potato, mushrooms, tofu. Hotpot is so good and flavourful that I don’t even need meat and I love meat.

The only thing that I would add is that you shouldn't just dump everything into the pot at once. It'll drop the temperature in the broth so everything will take longer to cook.

What I typically do is put in some of the starchy things like lotus roots or potatoes at the beginning since they take longer. Then as they're cooking, I'll do batches of the meats and other quick cooking things. Rinse and repeat until the end of the meal which is when I'd put in any noodles or leafy greens. That's because they'll soak up the broth and the flavorful oils in it so you cook them at the end when you're almost done with the broth.

As a vegetarian I absolutely love to see this. I've always wanted to try hot pot. Where is this place or are there any good other recommendations of places.

[DrunkJerboa]

ohhh nice to see that there are some hot pot places that have vegetarian options!! I was always a bit scared to try out hot pot bc I thought it's purely non-vegetarian

[AmeliaScott-vs]

Ahh finally a vegetarian meal!! I always see those meat broths with chicken and noodles and stuff so I can never relate to those vids but it’s just so refreshing to see a vegetarian eating the same foods I like!

Imma leave my sauce recipe here:
1:1 black vinegar and chili oil
A good scoop of garlic
Sesame seeds and oil

Great for dipping fatty meats! It’s super tangy so you can eat so much more

I love the mala flavor! as a vegetarian, be careful to ask for your broth without meat in it, though. some of my favorite hotpot veggies are tong ho, enoki, celtuse, and daikon!

OHMY THE JELLY STATION😍😍😍😍😍😍 Lowkey more excited by that than the hotpot itself lol

[psychois]

As someone who goes to hotpot 2-3x a year, strong disagree but either way the resolution is: hot pot is delicious!! Eat however you want, but my eating preference is:
1) always pick herbal broth (every place has it, it tastes great after the end, and it doesnt overpower anything)
2) put vegetables (especially long cook time ones) in first, even before boiling is fine.
3) IMO eat one piece of meat at a time so you dont lose it and dont overcook it and only AFTER boiling. Fill up as much as you can here (veggies too for health) to get your money's worth.
3) END with noodles. Yeah, I know. This is preference, but it's how my family always does it.

As someone who is very picky and cautious with meat I’d most likely enjoy a vegetarian hot pot more! Looks so yummy bro I’ve been craving this 😖😖😖

[baosstudio]

Some of the comments on this video are actually absurd.
That hotpot looks amazing by the way! I'm craving it now.

[catsrcool]

That looks so good and honestly really fun. I wish my town had something like this, but alas I live in the most boring place ever 💀

[shahzafar]

Jelly has gelatin which is pork- so just saying since most vegetarians don't know!

[audrayliar]

Perfect timing to see this cause my friends asked me to go to a hotpot next week and I've never done it and had no idea what to expect, and as a vegetarian I was worried I wouldn't find much but this has got me excited! 😊

In japan we have this thing called “Shabu Shabu” which is basically japanese hot pot, we normally put the noodles in the broth at the end (once we’ve eaten everything else) so it can soak up the other flavours

[Alien-cnmv]

also, if you get very spicy hot pot, usually, by the end, one of the employees will come over to u to offer u tomatoes into ur hotpot, idk what it does, but my parents always do it when we are almlst finishing

[jennifertustin]

I’m a vegetarian too I want to try this
