Instructions

To Make The Hot Pot Broth:

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot (or use the “Sauté” feature on the Instant Pot). Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant. Add in the vegetable stock and coconut milk, and stir to combine.
Continue cooking until the broth nearly reaches a simmer. Then add in 3 or 4 tablespoons of the curry paste, and whisk until it has dissolved. Taste, and add more curry paste if you’d like.
Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Then remove the ginger slices.
Serve simmering. Then stir in your desired dippers, simmer until they have cooked, then use a strainer to transfer them to your individual serving bowl. Add a ladle-full of broth to the individual serving bowl.
Serve warm, garnished with your desired toppings.

Notes

*Be sure to thinly slice your meat, if using, so that it will cook quickly. Also, be sure to thinly-slice any vegetables that take longer to cook (i.e. sweet potatoes).
