Who doesn’t love a full hotpot setup? It’s interactive, very fun. You dip and cook items as you eat. But sometimes, you don’t have the time or energy to deal with all the cleanup. So enter this recipe for an easy miso hotpot. You cook everything all at once in a big pot, and essentially have a big bowl of warm soupy goodness. No fuss from cooking as you go. I love this as an easy weeknight dinner.
