How to Make Mongolian Hot Pot

  1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup dry sherry, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oil (vegetable or canola), 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 lb beef (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced). Seal the bag.
  2. Turn the bag several times to ensure the beef is fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat a large wok or pot over high heat. Add 1 tsp oil.
  4. Remove the beef from the marinade with a slotted spoon, reserving the marinade.
  5. Quickly stir-fry the beef until lightly browned on both sides (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
  6. Add 1 tbsp oil to the wok. Add 1 head of bok choy, chopped; 4 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced; 2 scallions, chopped; and 1 cup of shredded carrots. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Pour in the reserved marinade, 2 cups beef stock, 1 cup water, and 2 tbsp hoisin sauce.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Add 8 oz dried noodles (such as egg noodles or ramen). Simmer until tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  10. Return the beef to the wok or pot. Cook until heated through.
  11. Finish with a few drops of Chinese hot pepper oil to taste.
  12. Serve immediately! Do not let it sit, as the noodles will absorb the liquid and swell.
