Japanese Hotpot

Marpig simply loves her hotpot... cos itz a very clever thingy when it comes to making Japanese Hotpot aka JHP... has always been contemplating whether to bring it along with Marpig to UK... but decided it doesnt like to take aeroplane so...

Made a JHP for Marpigz dadz colleagues... didnt get to eat dinner with them cos clashes with dinner date at XTz...

TT morning went for boat duty at WWS and ended up at home ard 4+pm... then went straight into preparing the hotpot. Of cos, ingredients were bought fresh the dae b4. So, Marpig got down to "chop chilli, chop chilli, chop chop chop" (no, itz just a figurative thingy to say, didnt really chop any chilli tt dae :P)

Ingredients:
Lotsa fresh blind prawns (they still have their black glasses on)
Thick leeks tt can kill like clubs
One beeg boulder-like cabbage
Hay-hay-hay bee (dried shrimps)
On-ions (We don want ions tt are not on)
Shitake mushrooms (beware of brown stains... u never noe)
Those long long white colour mushrooms (their real name is not straw mushrooms... or is it?...)
Fake crabmeats (real one also can) and the fish balls

Preparation:
Cook broth (Broth is very impt)
Place ingredients into pot nicely and neatly in layers
Decorate
Pour broth over ingredients
Cover and simmer for 5 mins
Ready to serve
Looks simple... but Marpig didnt take pictures of each layer of ingredients... but prawns are at the bottom, followed by mushrooms, leeks, cabbage, those "straw mushrooms" and a cherry tomato "flower" as garnish the middle. :D
