Soy milk hot pot!

[Ce'nedra]

In Chinese (hopefully I'm copy pasting this right) 豆乳鍋 and in Japanese 豆腐の豆乳鍋.

I'm not so sure whether this is a Chinese or Japanese creation although admittedly, my first (and sole) experience had been at a Japanese restaurant. Googling it, I've found many results linking to Taiwan.

Anyway, that aside, who here has tried it? What are your thoughts? Yay or nay?

From what I recall, it was sort of rich, being slightly (just a tad) creamy. In that respect, I felt like I was eating seafood laksa hotpot-style. Very interesting indeed; I'm tempted to try it at home (or maybe even plain milk...or coconut milk?!).

I've heard stories that soymilk hot pot is great in nutritional value but I can't be too sure myself.

I tried making a Japanese recipe for this recently that I thought was excellent: the broth was a shiitake stock with soy milk, and the ingredients included cod, a number of types of mushrooms (enoki, king oyster, etc.), tofu, and some other assorted veggies. Really deep flavor for such a simple dish.

alwang: I recently bought a Japanese tofu cookbook and my, my, what did I see? Soymilk hotpot! The broth was basically dashi stock, soy sauce, salt and soymilk. Seems easy enough so I'll give it a go one day and will post on it then

When you say "shiitake stock", do you simply mean soaking the dried shiitakes in hot water?

It's a Japanese creation, popular in TaiWan, China.

It has the efficacy of anti-asthma.
