Inspired by the flavors of Japanese-style tantanmen, this creamy hot pot combines savory pork, sesame, miso, and milk for a rich and comforting meal.

*Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
・100 g ground pork
・1/2 bag bean sprouts
・1 bunch spinach
・1 clove garlic, minced
・A sprinkle of ground sesame seeds

*Broth
・250 ml water
・1 tbsp miso paste (fermented soybean paste)
・1/2 tbsp soy sauce
・1/4 tbsp vinegar
・1/4 tbsp doubanjiang (spicy fermented chili bean paste)
・150 ml milk

*Method
・Add the ground pork, bean sprouts, spinach, and garlic to a small pot.

・Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the pork is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
