Kochkurs: Chinese Hot Pot

In the organizer's words:

Cooking course in German
Chinese Hot Pot
Vegan feast
with Yaxin Yang

Hot pot (Huo Guo) is a very convivial meal, especially in the cooler months of the year. In the middle of the dining table is a pot of home-cooked broth, which is brought to the boil with a gas burner or electric stove. Various previously prepared ingredients are placed around the pot. The food is eaten together with family or friends from the pot, with everyone having their own bowl with a sauce for dipping. While you sit together at the table and cook the food, you have plenty of time to chat. Nowadays, people attach greater importance to health and well-being. In contrast to the Chinese tradition, where a lot of meat is served, in this course we only focus on the vegetarian/vegan options.

Menu:

• Two different broths
• Different types of tofu (yuba, baked and frozen tofu...)
• Fresh leafy vegetables and mushrooms (oyster mushrooms, shiitake, enoki and mu-err mushrooms)
• Tuber vegetables (lotus root, sweet potato...), fresh noodles and sweet potato noodles
• 3 dips (sesame paste, red-fermented tofu, wild garlic flowers...)
