KOREAN SEAFOOD HOT POT RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Scrub and place the Littleneck Clams (8) in salted water (1 tablespoon of salt to 2 cups of water) for 30 minutes or longer to get the clams to spit out the sand. Separate the top shell from the Blue Crab (2) and remove the gills.
• Clean the shell of the crab thoroughly with a kitchen brush under running water. Break or cut the body in half or quarters. Clean the Squid (8 ounce) and Tilapia (8 ounce). Cut both into bite size pieces. Clean the Large Shrimp (8) and leave the skin on.
• Cut the Napa Cabbage (8 ounce), Korean Radish (3 ounce), and Carrot (1) into bite size pieces. Thinly slice the Onion (1/2) and Mushroom (2). Cut the Scallion (2) in similar lengths. Set aside.
• Mix Korean Chili Flakes (2 tablespoon), Soy Sauce (1 tablespoon) , Salt (1 teaspoon), Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/8 teaspoon), Gochujang (1 teaspoon), Doenjang (1 teaspoon), Garlic (1 tablespoon), and Fresh Ginger (1 teaspoon) with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the broth or water.
• Using a wide, shallow pot, neatly arrange the cut vegetables and Soybean Sprouts (6 ounce) in clusters, with the exception of the watercress (or crown daisy). Scatter the seafood pieces on top of vegetables, placing the clams/mussels closer to the bottom of the pan.
• Add Anchovy Broth (3 cup) and the seasoning paste, reserving 1 tablespoon to add as necessary to your liking.
• Top it with the Watercress (2 fluid ounce) and cook over medium high heat until the clams/mussels are open, the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are softened. Drizzle Lemon (1 tablespoon) over it. Stir occasionally. You can add more broth and any remaining ingredients while eating if you’re cooking at the table.

Steps:

• For the pork broth: Fill a 7-quart Dutch oven with 12 cups cold water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, soak the pork bones in cold water in a large bowl, to remove some of the blood, for about 20 minutes or until the water boils. Add the bones to the pot and boil until the water darkens and there’s a lot of foam on the surface, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse the bones and clean the pot of any residue.
• Return the pork bones to the pot and add the carrots, corn, daikon and 16 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the broth is very milky, about 2 1/2 hours. Skim off any dark proteins and fat, then lightly season with salt.                 
• Transfer the pork broth, along with the bones and other solids, which will continue to flavor the broth, to an 11-inch hot pot pot with a divider. Add the chili oil to one side of the pot. Place the pot on a portable butane burner and bring to a boil over high heat.  
• For the components: Meanwhile, arrange the beef, fish, cabbage, spinach, potatoes, pumpkin, eggs, fish tofu and udon noodles on plates or platters, as you like. Set out at least two pairs of chopsticks or tongs and small strainer baskets (these are useful when cooking more fragile ingredients, such as fish, tofu and the like). As for the chopsticks/tongs, let everyone know not to use the same pair for picking up raw and cooked meat and fish. 
• For the condiments: Create a “dipping sauce station” with any of the condiments, along with a bunch of small plates and bowls. Each person can mix and match them as they like. 
• Once the broth is boiling, start cooking! Let each person cook their own ingredients in the broth (the side with the chili oil is spicier), being mindful not to overcrowd the pot. If the broth reduces too much and you still have raw ingredients left, add some warm water to the pot and bring to a boil. If you like, you can eat the marrow from the pork bones. 
• Proteins–Thinly sliced chicken, pork or lamb, mini-pork sausages, low-sodium luncheon meat cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, shellfish, fish cakes, tofu
• Vegetables–sweet potato, kabocha squash, watercress, bok choy, corn on the cob, lotus root, kale, chile peppers, tomato, bean sprouts, enoki, shiitake or button mushrooms 
• Noodles, etc.–ramen noodles, rice noodles, konjac noodle knots, dumplings, rice cakes, dried tofu sticks  
• Stir together the Pork Broth, BBQ sauce, sesame paste, oyster sauce, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic and scallions in a small bowl until combined.
