The Method

1
Rehydrate the dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes. Reserve the soaking liquid and remove the stems from the mushrooms (the stems are often too tough) then slice the mushroom caps.
2
In a large pot or hot pot cooker, combine the vegetable broth, shiitake mushroom soaking liquid, gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
3
Add the sesame oil and shiitake mushroom slices. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Arrange the enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, tofu, napa cabbage, spinach, carrots, and scallions around the pot. Alternatively, place them in separate bowls for guests to add as they cook.
5
Once the broth is simmering, add the glass noodles.
6
Allow the hot pot to simmer, and let everyone cook the ingredients to their liking. The vegetables should be tender-crisp, and the tofu should be heated through.
7
Serve the hot pot with individual bowls, chopsticks, and slotted spoons. Enjoy the delicious and flavorful broth along with the cooked ingredients.

Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of gochujang to your desired level of spiciness.

Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference and availability. Bok choy, bean sprouts, or other Asian greens work well.

For added protein, consider adding plant-based meatballs or other meat alternatives.

Serve with a side of kimchi for extra flavor and probiotics.

If you don't have dried shiitake mushrooms, use 8 ounces of fresh shiitake mushrooms and add more vegetable broth for a deeper flavor.
