Steps

1

Prepare the ingredients. The stars of this hot pot are vegetables—green cabbage, kimchi, and green garlic. Use any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge.
2

Prep the vegetables. Tear the cabbage into pieces; slice the green garlic on a diagonal.
3

Sauté. Even though this is a hot pot, start by heating sesame oil in the pot and sautéing the kimchi until fragrant, then add the cabbage.
4

Simmer. Add the water and bring to a gentle boil. Add your favorite toppings.
5

Season. Add salt and mirin to taste. Since the kimchi brine is already seasoned, be sure to taste and adjust the saltiness as needed.
6

Top with green garlic.
