If you know me you know I have a thing for soups. And especially an affinity for Japanese soups. This spicy miso hot pot utilizes the same broth base as my spicy miso ramen, then we load it up with lots of veggies, noodles, and your protein of choice. There's a couple different ways people like to enjoy hot pots, but I've made this one as simple as possible. This soup is great for your menstrual phase, but can be enjoyed anytime you need some cozy sustenance. Feel free to switch up the veggies, protein, or any other fixings!
Ingredients:
Makes 2 servings
- 4 c stock of choice (my fav one to use for menstrual phase linked here code STACEYA10)
- 1 c light coconut milk
- 3 tbsp white miso paste
- 1-2 tbsp kimchi paste (or spicy sauce of choice)
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 c Napa cabbage
- 1 carrot
- 8 florets broccoli
- 6 mushrooms (I used shiitake and cremini)
- 1 c enoki mushrooms
- 1 green onion
- 2 individual ramen noodle packs
- 2 servings protein of choice (I went for 12 shrimp)
- rice (optional)
- sesame sauce (optional)
- ponzu (optional)
Directions:
- Wash, and chop up 1 c of Napa cabbage, broccoli florets, and green onion. Peel and slice carrot. Wash mushrooms, and slice the end off of the enoki mushrooms.
- Make the soup base by combining the stock, coconut milk, coconut aminos, miso paste, and kimchi paste in a pot over medium heat.
- Keep stirring until miso paste is dissolved and bring to a hard simmer. Then, reduce heat to medium low, cover, and let simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Once the base is done, we're going to add the ingredients to the pot starting with the ones that take the longest to cook. If you're following the ingredients for this recipe, add the shiitake/cremini mushrooms and broccoli first and let that cook for a couple minutes.
- Then, add in the carrot and cabbage, letting that cook for another minute or two.
- Next, add your noodles, let them cook for a couple minutes.
- Finally, add your shrimp and enoki mushrooms. At this point you can also use chopsticks to separate your noodles if needed.
- Once everything is cooked, divide up the soup into two separate bowls, and add green onions on top to garnish.
- Serve with a side of rice, ponzu, and sesame sauce for dipping the veggies and protein.
This is a sort of version of shabu shabu, so it's traditionally served with the rice and sauces for dipping, but it's completely optional! You could also do tofu or thinly sliced meat for your protein. If you liked my spicy miso ramen, you will surely love this! Make this your own-- add bok choy, remove mushrooms, add potatoes. I hope you enjoy!! 🫶
