Hi & thank you so much for your recipe, If I want to eat noodles, can you tell me what kind to buy?

Very good channel

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Love hotpot ...I like eating the meats with some shoyu & wasabi ... also with traditional soy sauce with some red chillies and mince garlic in it

[@KindofCooking]

Sounds great! That's an interesting sauce. I don't think we've ever gone the wasabi route .. will need to try that one day.

[@esper2142]

Love it! We made the miso dashi broth last night and it was GREAT! One minor suggestion - please let us know how much water to use in these recipes. Too much or too little can change the taste a great deal!

[@KindofCooking]

Thank you for watching, trying, and pointing that out! I think we missed it somehow. The water measurements should be there. Haha I think it only made it in for the Sichuan chilli one. Oops. I’ll go back to my notes and add it back in shortly.

[@KindofCooking]

Thank you very much for the kind words. Ideally we aim to delivery some entertainment and something usable at the same time haha. We'll see where this gets us.

[@majinboii2125]

This all looks so good! Question: if you are able to aquire beef tallow for the spicy broth, how much would you use? Thanks!

[@KindofCooking]

You can Replace the regular with beef tallow. Going to be awesome.

[@Ripplin]

Thanks, Carmen! Really hope to try hotpot at home sometime, or even finding a quality restaurant somewhere. Any places you particularly like in or around Toronto?

[@KindofCooking]

Thanks for watching! We rarely go out that often for hotpot, but when we do its AYCE. The last one we went to Liuyishou Hotpot in Scarborough (Midland and Finch) and to was pretty good.

good to see you again

[@KindofCooking]

Thanks for watching!

[@flipingboredcritic]

Wow

[@mengliu4718]

We love hotpot too. Our hot pot season is pretty much over unless we do it with the air conditioning on hahahaha. The beef bone and tomato one is definitely on my list to try next time.. great for the kids. I like the spice soup based like mala, Tom yum, satay. For those I usually use store bought soup bases.. the Little Sheep brand of the Mala soup base is my favourite.

[@mengliu4718]

And we love the thinly slice fatty beef and lamb too... we sometimes also have sliced pork belly.. it is soo nice in the spicy soup bases. Kids love dumplings / wontons cooked in the hot pot too.

[@KindofCooking]

I went to Australia in "winter" - I was sweating like a PIG. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, while others were in down jackets and Uggs for some reason. We did do a hot pot though. Little sheep is huge everywhere isn't it! I didn't know about the different hot pot soup bases until much later. Growing up we used water or chicken broth lol. I live for fatty beef haha I think we had 3 or 4 packs for that meal.

[@KindofCooking]

Can’t go wrong with the miso one. Thanks for watching

[@nyflo718]

Where'd you get the pot though looking for a good quality one

[@hycep4549]

What type of red chillies to be used for. The spicy base

[@tmmle7]

Since tomatoes and beef bones are already rich in umami, would pre-roasting the ingredients alter the flavor too much? Or would I need to adjust for seasoning?

[@linhyybear143]

I came here for the receipe but i'm staying for all of your edits

[@KindofCooking]

Thanks!!! Haha we tried something new and seems like we’ve had some positive feedback.

[@KindofCooking]

@Matthew I think that would be a hard one to skip. Dobanjiang is a signature of Sichuan cuisine. It adds a depth of flavor beyond the spice. Hmm perhaps you could consider finding a “substitute”. If In your situation I would try adding some black bean (paste) and some dried chilli powder or maybe some miso? Maybe even gochujiang???? Something with the fermented beans.

[@ilovenoodles7483]

@@KindofCooking You're back!👍🏼 I came here from your other channel that I just seen today. Are you familiar with Szechuan style cooking? Do you know of a dish called (in English) water-boiled tripe? It's soooo delicious. Only very few restaurants make it in my town and it is always on a secret Szechuan menu that a lot of people are scared to order from because it's way too spicy for them. Please respond because I would like to know if you are familiar with it. I'm sure the name of the dish is probably something else in your language but that is just how it reads on every menu in English. The dish is a soup and it uses leaf/book tripe and has a very good spicy water based broth. The spices make the broth color red. The soup base at @4:36 _looks_ like it can be the same broth, but I don't know for sure though. It does have most of the same vegetables in it.

[@pocketofryeproductions]

Silly question, for the mushroom broth Do I remove all the mushrooms and everything else before using? Or can I use the pre cooked mushrooms for the meal

[@chrissaiko2626]

Finally, a hotpot that somehow I think I can do yet I know I'm unable too(no time and money).

[@KindofCooking]

you can use very normal ingredients like cabbage and some meat. hehe basically a soup ;)

Question about the Tomato Beef Broth procedure: What did you do with the first batch of broth you made when you blanched the beef bones? Did you throw that out down the drain?

ya throw it

[@whatheck6797]

Out of curiosity can you drink the broth? I heard some says you shouldn’t.

[@rhondalamb7053]

What spices are in spice bag please

[@RosarioCaliColombia]

Hey! im on the fence, considering an induction burner with a separate hotpot or just get the electric hotpot, both have the dividers,. any suggestions?

[@KindofCooking]

Hmmm. Personally, I would go for induction given my personal use. It gives me flexibility if I want to do something else with it, say have an extra stove for a large party. The hotpot would be single use... unless I want soup.

[@RosarioCaliColombia]

@@KindofCooking thank you so much for the reply and great tutorials!

[@Intensification]

Is there a specific type of pork bones you buy?

[@vilaisacksvk.v2479]

ສຸດຍອດ

[@jokyng]

I already had hot pot a few times this month.

[@KindofCooking]

LOL that's my problem with hotpot, once you have it once, you usually have so much leftovers you have to have it for a few days straight. Kevin only does hotpot once/year because of this.

[@drshaynescott]

Fragrant mush?

[@moonrain23]

Do you add any salt to the mushroom broth? Also how long do you blanch the bone? Thanks the vid!

[@KindofCooking]

Salt is optional. The bones we blanched for 5-8 min. When you see enough of that blood/scum come out then you’re good. You want your soup to be clear.

[@spindleblood]

How much water did you add when making the miso broth?

[@KindofCooking]

We were using 2L, but do it according to your taste. We did it pretty light in miso flavour, but you may want it stronger.

[@nino1filionewheeler257]

Where to get those pot/wok with dividers?

[@KindofCooking]

They are actually built into the pots. We buy them at the supermarket

[@Pianofingerzz]

Why does she look familiar? Did she do vlogs in 2008? Anyways great recipe. What I was looking for!

Lol! Can’t handle it in the summer #weak

[@triplekdailyactivities4901]

Hi.. can i change rice wine and fermented sweet wine ? I want to cook halal mala soup…

[@KindofCooking]

Yes, you probably could. Can also use something like apple juice. It’s only a little bit you need.

[@JellyBeeFilms]

You're hilarious!

[@liligibson8457]

Wow, you have 2 hotpots. I am thinking about getting another one too.

[@fury1031]

Interesting. I keep seeing advice on recipes to NOT bring miso dashi soup to a full boil because it will ruin the flavor, but it's actually fine to use it in a hot pot, which keeps it boiling?

[@pandapanda246]

For the Mala, can I use Gochugaru instead of whole dried chili peppers and shaoxing wine instead of rice wine ?

[@belle3168]

No, gochugaru is already dried and blitz and wont work the same or have the same nuance as whole dehydrated pepper. You also can't change out the rice wine, bc it's the fermentation you are after, not the actual alcohol. Shaoxing wine does not have that important flavor layer that the fermented rice does.

[@foxtroth5092]

Can you eat the rest of the soup normally or do you toss it?

[@KindofCooking]

Lol. The truth is, we always buy too much and we just leave the soup out and hotpot again the next day or until it’s done. Personally, we usually don’t drink the soup, but some people do. If you drink it, we drink it before we add things that are more “smelly” like tripe, lamb, squid, or other seafood.

[@AmandaKoko]

What is the name of the slippery black mushroom, they usually have it wet when I go to the hot pot

[@KindofCooking]

Wood ear? Fresh shititake? That’s what comes to mind.

[@AmandaKoko]

@@KindofCooking thank you so much wood ear was the name

[@Buonarotti10]

11 oz of beef tallow at $84.00 Canadian is pretty expensive. Thanks for this great video and nice humour.

Where do you get the proper meat types (cuts, etc) and such?

[@saniyashahid2728]

What is a good non-alcoholic alternative for rice wine to remove the bitterness of the green peppercorns?

[@KindofCooking]

Hmmmm I don't have an official answer for you but I think some apple juice would work.

[@tikkalove3955]

Your funny 😂

[@pilikapickles]

Can you please advise how much water to use? We made the miso dashi broth (didn’t even use a whole lot of water) and it came out virtually flavorless ☹️ We had to keep dumping in extra miso and then couldn’t even taste the dashi flavor. Full recipe quantities would be immensely helpful!

[@KindofCooking]

Hi there! Sorry to hear that. The miso broth one doesn’t have too much “flavor” per-se. it’s much more subtle than the other ones. it builds as you continue to do the hotpot :) that being said, do it to your liking. We were basing this off just under 2L of water. All the ingredients and measurements are in the description :)
