Coconut Broth Hot Pot
Instead of using bones to make broth, you can use coconut water. Coconut water has a rich, sweet taste that is perfect for hot pot broths. For each pot, you only need 2-3 fresh coconuts and enough water. Season with the characteristic spices of each hot pot. Once the water boils, it’s ready to use.
With this method, you can have a delicious and refreshing hot pot broth in just a few minutes.
Pear or Jackfruit Broth
Pears or jackfruits are fruits with a naturally sweet and refreshing taste, which can be used to make broths for noodles and hot pots. To make the broth, peel the pear (or jackfruit), cut it into medium-sized pieces, and put them in a pot with water. Add some spices and boil the pear/jackfruit until it becomes soft and releases its sweet juice.
Pineapple, Sweet Corn, and Parsnip Broth
Cut the corn into pieces, peel and cut the pineapple into medium-sized pieces, and peel and cut the parsnip. Put all the ingredients in a pot, add water, and bring to a boil. Cook until the vegetables become tender, then remove the solids, strain the broth, and season with spices to taste.
Other vegetables such as turnips, carrots, onions, potatoes, apples, sugarcane, cabbage, kale… can also be used to make broths. Simply chop the ingredients into small pieces, put them in a pot with water, cook until the vegetables become tender, and the broth has a sweet taste.
If you want to add a sour taste to the broth, use tomatoes, tamarind, plum, sour starfruit, green pineapple…
Soy Milk Broth
Soy milk can also be used to make hot pot broths. To make the broth, follow these steps.
Heat a pot on the stove, add a little oil and fry shallots, ginger, and lemongrass until fragrant… Add unsweetened soy milk and coconut water in a 1:1 ratio to the pot, add cold water to achieve the desired amount of broth. Season with a little salt and sugar to taste. And you have a pot of hot pot broth in just a few minutes.
These broths have a light and refreshing taste, suitable for both vegetarian and meat hot pots. When you dip the ingredients in the broth, the sweetness of the vegetables, meat, shrimp, fish… will enhance the flavor of the broth without making it too heavy like bone broth.
