The Great Khans Fire Pot Recipes

THE GREAT KHAN'S FIRE POT RECIPE

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in warm water to cover until softened, about 30 minutes; drain. Cut the noodles into 3-inch pieces. Place the noodles and spinach on a serving platter with the lamb, prawns, and onions. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook. In separate small serving bowls, whisk the dipping sauce ingredients until blended. In a large pot, bring the broth, ginger and wine to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Discard the ginger. Set a Mongolian fire pot or an electric wok in the centre of the table. Arrange the lamb platter and dipping sauces around the cooking vessel. Pour the hot broth into the fire pot and adjust the heat so the broth simmers gently. Each diner cooks his or her choice of ingredients and seasons it with dipping sauce. This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings. Plotting your Fire Pot: When purchasing a fire pot or hot pot, be sure to find one that is functional and not merely ornamental. To prevent damage to the pot, fill the moat with hot broth before adding the charcoal. Light the charcoal ahead of time in a barbecue, then transfer them to the fire pot. Unable to find a traditional fire pot? In a pinch, use an electric wok, or a portable gas burner, or even a fondue pot. The Cantonese version of hot pot is called a fire pot, which is a large clay pot over a portable burner or cool-burning stove.
