Start by preparing a marinade for the chicken and pork belly. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gluten-free oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Add the chicken and pork slices to this mixture and let marinate for 20 minutes.
While the proteins are marinating, prepare the vegetables by washing and slicing as necessary. Soak the rice noodles in warm water until softened, about 10 minutes, then drain them.
Prepare the hot pot broth. In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat, then sauté the remaining garlic until fragrant. Add the chicken stock, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of gluten-free soy sauce. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.
Set up the Mookata grill or a similar tabletop cooker. If you're using a Mookata pan, pour the prepared broth into the hot pot section and heat until it starts to simmer.
Drizzle a small amount of cooking oil on the grilling section of the Mookata pan. Once heated, begin grilling the marinated chicken, pork belly, and shrimp. Flip occasionally to ensure even cooking. Be mindful to avoid cross-contamination with uncooked proteins.
At the same time, add vegetables, soft rice noodles, and cracked eggs (stir to scramble) into the broth section of the Mookata pan. Let them cook gently while diners grill and enjoy the proteins.
Serve hot from the Mookata pan, letting diners alternate between grilling proteins and dipping cooked items into the flavorful broth. Offer extra gluten-free soy sauce or chili sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
