5 flavour wild-party hot pot!!!

**Sizzle sizzle**~ HOT POT!! Yum yum really craving for it now because it is winter at the moment! So cold~ NABE!!!

Introduction first.

Arashi no Shukudai-kun (translation: Arashi's Homework) is just the best show that Arashi members are hosting! They always have guest stars appearing in their shows and the best part about it, is that the guest gets to request the audience to help them in their homework. This time, the homework for the audience was to report on their best household's "hot pot dishes" (every episode with different guests has different homework involving food).

A viewer turned in this recipe that just amazes me so much I just have to post it up! Its called the 5 flavour wild party hot pot!

1st - normal consomme-based soup with chicken, carrots, broccoli, celery, onions and pot-au-feu style. Its delicious if you eat it with mayonnaise.

2nd - Add in fresh cream and it becomes...

...Cream Stew! Add in a bit of salt to heighten the flavour.

3rd - Add in Tomato puree and ketchup + cheese slices and it becomes...

....Italian-style hot pot! Figured it out? You must be good haha

4th - Add in curry roux and stir it to become....

...Curry hot pot! This one is a little easy to figure out hehe.

Lastly, add in rice gruel and voila! The best household hot pot that anyone has ever come up with!

Even Ogura-san, Jun and Aiba are so delighted!

If you have the time and the pot to do this, its definitely worthwhile!!!! You have to keep it cooking on the stove though...so this means that the ingredients will get overcooked. So pay attention to those that cooks very quickly! Particularly chicken!

Footnotes:
Pot-au-feu: is french meaning "pot on the fire" - French beef stew.
Consonmme: flavourful clear soup such as vegetable/chicken/beef stock

Hey Anon!

Thanks for the comment :) really appreciate it and I did not think anyone would read it...a fan girl was writing it for herself haha.

I've always wanted to try it. I hope to do this one day in my own time, though my family is lactose intolerant :/
