Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Chicken bone broth
- 4 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 inches Fresh ginger, sliced
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 heads Baby bok choy, halved
- 2 cups Shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
- 1 pound Thinly sliced beef, pork, or chicken (Whole30-compliant)
- 1 cup Shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
- 2 cups Cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 2 cups Zucchini noodles
- 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced on a bias
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot or tabletop hotpot cooker, heat the chicken bone broth over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Stir in the coconut aminos, minced garlic, sliced ginger, chopped green onions, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Let the broth simmer gently for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
While the broth is simmering, arrange the raw ingredients (baby bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced meat, shrimp, cauliflower florets, zucchini noodles, and carrots) on a large platter or in individual bowls for serving.
Once the broth is ready, reduce the heat to low and transfer the pot to the table if using a tabletop cooker, ensuring it remains hot.
Diners can use chopsticks or tongs to cook their preferred ingredients in the simmering broth. Thinly sliced meat will cook in about 1-2 minutes, while vegetables will take 2-3 minutes depending on size.
Adjust the seasoning of the broth throughout the meal if necessary, adding more sea salt or coconut aminos to taste.
Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a bright and tangy finish.
Enjoy the hotpot as a communal and interactive dining experience, honoring the Whole30 guidelines!
