HOTPOT WITH AN NAM MACKEREL IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

🌟 Ingredients

  • 2 cans of An Nam Mackerel In Spicy Tomato Sauce
  • 1 liter chicken or pork bone broth
  • 2 tomatoes, 1/4 pineapple, 1 onion, 2 stalks of lemongrass (lightly smashed)
  • 1 tbsp annatto oil, 1 tbsp satay chili oil (optional, for extra heat)
  • Vegetables (to cook in the hotpot): water spinach, napa cabbage, enoki mushrooms, straw mushrooms
  • Fresh rice noodles, egg noodles, or glass noodles
  • Seasonings: fish sauce, salt, sugar, bouillon powder, fresh chili

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth: Sauté garlic and shallots in a bit of oil. Add the tomato wedges and pineapple slices, cook until softened. Add lemongrass, sliced onion, and annatto oil. Pour in the broth and mushrooms, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  2. Add the flavor of the ocean: Add 2 cans of An Nam Mackerel In Spicy Tomato Sauce to the pot, gently breaking the fish into large pieces so they soak up the broth while keeping their shape. Season to taste with salt, sugar, bouillon powder, and a spoonful of satay oil for more heat, if desired.
  3. To serve, transfer the hotpot broth to an electric cooker or cast iron pot to keep it warm. Serve with a platter of fresh vegetables and your choice of noodles.

Tips

  • For a fancier spread, add shrimp, squid, or silken tofu for extra toppings.
  • You can also ladle the hotpot broth over rice or noodles for a quick, satisfying meal.
