Remarks

Taos hotpot, like any slow-cooked dish, can be reheated and served again several times - it just gets better every time. As the quantities are mostly for guidance, do adapt it to suit whatever vegetables or meat you have handy.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge in a sealed container. Freezes very well.
