Ain’t no party like a hot pot party 🍲 {ad}
You KNOW that @mali.vegan is the place to be if you’re after banging vegan Thai food so get excited, because they’ve just added hot pot to their menu 🇹🇭🥳
…aaand of course they’ve nailed it 👏🏼 This is such a fun way to eat – it’s interactive and you can add whichever ingredients you want 😍 It’s also a perfect winter warmer 🔥
I’ve only had hot pot once before and it’s tough to find vegan versions in London so it was super nice to have it again 🤤
🍲 HOT POT
A hot pot consists of three parts: broth, ingredients and a dipping sauce. Here’s what you get with this one:
🍲 BROTH: A shiitake mushroom broth and a Tom Yum broth
🍄 INGREDIENTS: A few rare types of fungus (Hinoaji white fungus & Rolin Bamboo Fungus), a variety of mushrooms, Asian greens, chive wonton dumplings, various types of tofu, @omnifoods.uk mince wrapped in beancurd sheets, yellow noodles and pea vermicelli noodles
🔥 SAUCE: Sriracha and light soya sauces
🌽 As if this wasn’t enough, you also get some delicious sweetcorn fritters with a peanut dipping sauce 🥜 Trust me, you are NOT leaving hungry
💭Oh, so many flavours 😍 The mushroom broth feels light and has that distinctive umami taste while the Tom Yum boasts a variety of flavours including lime, lemongrass, chilli, kafir lime leaves and a tonne of fresh herbs. I loved the range of ingredients you could add – especially the handmade dumplings, the different types of tofu and the rare mushrooms which I’d never tried before. The fritters were also deeeelicious 😍
