Ingredients for Kimchi Sausage Hot Pot Serves 4
Smoked sausage 500 gr (10 pieces) Smoked pork belly 200 gr Chicken bones 200 gr Kimchi 50 gr Bell peppers 4 pieces Korean chili powder 1/2 teaspoon Napa cabbage 100 gr Green onions 50 gr Onion 50 gr Zucchini 100 gr Enoki mushrooms 50 gr Common seasoning a little (salt/ pepper/ seasoning powder/ sugar)
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good chicken bones
- Fresh chicken bones will have a pinkish-red color, not pale, bruised, or have any unusual smell.
- You should choose chicken bones that are about the size of 2 – 3 finger joints because bones that are too large will make the broth taste bad, while bones that are too small may be from sick or weak chickens.
- If buying frozen chicken bones, you should choose to buy from reputable establishments or supermarkets and check the origin and expiration date carefully.
How to choose fresh Napa cabbage
- Fresh Napa cabbage will have a fresh white stem and pale green leaves. The leaves are thin and not too rough or have tiny spots as if eaten by pests.
- It is advisable to buy cabbages of moderate size, which feel firm to the touch, and the leaves stick tightly together.
- You should avoid choosing cabbages that are yellowing or too dark green, as these cabbages are old, lacking sweetness, crunchiness, and have lost some nutrients.
How to choose fresh zucchini
- Good zucchini will have a moderate green color that is not too flashy, with a fresh stem, shiny skin, and no bruises or scratches.
- You should choose zucchini that is straight, feels firm and hard to the touch, not soft.
