Cut the albaegi cabbage, green onion, onion, and shiitake mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, similar in length and size to the dumplings, for the hot pot.
Thinly slice the Cheongyang and red chili peppers diagonally for garnish and a spicy kick.
Take about 2 dumplings (about 20% of the total) from the prepared frozen dumplings and finely chop or completely crush them with a knife.
Place the crushed dumpling filling in the center of the hot pot to form the base of the broth.
Arrange the sliced cabbage, green onion, onion, and mushrooms around the crushed dumplings, facing each other for visual appeal.
Place the remaining whole dumplings on top of the vegetables, then add 1 tbsp minced garlic and 1-2 tbsp soup soy sauce.
Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat.
Once the broth boils, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. For added umami, add a little beef Dasida and MSG.
After the hot pot has simmered for a bit, sprinkle with black pepper, make a small space in the center, crack in 1 egg, and garnish with the sliced chili peppers to finish.
Chop vegetables to dumpling size, and finely crush 2 frozen dumplings for the broth.
Place crushed dumplings in the center of the pot, surround with vegetables and whole dumplings, add water, minced garlic, and soup soy sauce, then boil.
Once boiling, season with salt, add egg, chili peppers, and black pepper, then simmer briefly to complete.
Cooking tips 💡
The meat and vegetable seasonings in the dumpling filling dissolve directly into the broth, creating a deep flavor without the need for separate anchovy or beef bone broth.
The final seasoning may vary depending on the size of your pot and the amount of water used, so it's best to adjust the salt gradually while simmering rather than adding it all at once.
Cheongyang chili peppers cut through the richness of the broth and add a refreshing, spicy flavor, so it's highly recommended to include them.
