Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, add the chicken, water, sliced ginger, and green onions. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes to create a flavorful broth. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.

Step 2

Remove the chicken from the broth and set it aside. Add gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to the broth for seasoning. Optionally, stir in a pre-made gluten-free hotpot soup base for added flavor.

Step 3

Meanwhile, wash and prep the vegetables. Separate the Napa cabbage leaves and cut them into large chunks. Halve the baby bok choy. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes, clean the mushrooms, and set everything on a serving platter.

Step 4

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.

Step 5

If using thinly sliced beef or lamb, arrange the raw meat on a separate platter for easy access during cooking.

Step 6

Transfer the hot broth to a portable burner or a hotpot cooking pot set at the table. Keep the broth at a simmer throughout the meal.

Step 7

Allow diners to cook vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, and meat in the simmering broth as they eat. Provide gluten-free dipping sauces on the side for additional seasoning.

Step 8

Replenish the broth with hot water as needed and serve cooked rice noodles towards the end of the meal.
