Mastering the art of seasoning is the most challenging aspect of preparing seafood hot pot. This dish is particularly popular during the year-end festivities, thanks to its delightful flavor and refreshing nature. Whether you’re hosting a gathering with friends or simply enjoying a meal with family, learning to cook seafood hot pot can elevate your dining experience.
Begin by cleaning the fish thoroughly, separating the bones from the flesh. Slice the fish into thin, long strips and marinate them with chili and ginger. Pan-fry the fish head and tail until golden brown.
Rinse all other seafood ingredients with water to ensure cleanliness.
Step 2:
Simmer pork bones to extract their natural sweetness, then remove them. Add the fried fish head and tail to the broth and cook thoroughly. Enhance the flavor by adding a touch of chili sauce and mashed tomatoes for color.
Step 3:
Wash shrimp, squid, crab, crayfish, clams, vegetables, mushrooms, and herbs, arranging them separately on plates. Your seafood hot pot is now ready to serve!
This dish offers a harmonious blend of tangy, spicy, and aromatic flavors from the chili sauce, complemented by the natural sweetness of shrimp, squid, clams, and crab. Instead of dining out, you can prepare this seafood hot pot at home, ensuring both deliciousness and hygiene.
Feel free to add root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or taro to the broth, simmering them with the bones for the last 15 minutes of cooking. Tailor the ingredients to your family’s preferences.
Wishing you success in your culinary endeavors!
