After the turkey, it’s time to prepare hot pot for Chinese New Year. My family loves to gather around a bubbling pot of soup to celebrate. The great thing about a hot pot party is, it’s easy to prepare and very affordable. Plus, everybody has an opportunity to try out a variety of things, as well as enjoy their favorites.

For the most classic flavour, go for Nissin Udon with Bonito Flavour. It comes with a seasoning sauce pack which you can add into any hotpot soup. The light and clear dashi broth has a lovely umami from the bonito which highlights the smooth and chewy texture of Nissin Sanuki Udon.

It’s very simple and straightforward, but the result is superb. Bonito flavour is very versatile and it can be used to cook anything – vegetables, seafood or meat. Plus, if you have a guest that does not eat spicy food, it’s very helpful to have the mild broth available.

If you are a fan of Japanese curry, you will love Nissin Sanuki Udon Curry Flavour. I had it on two occasions. The first time round, I paired it with mala soup. This fusion of mala and curry work wonders, surprisingly. The chilli oil and numbing spices mixing seamlessly with Nissin Udon with Curry Flavour.

A few weeks later, I added the curry powder into beef stock. The thick and chewy udon noodles is soaked in an aromatic and flavourful broth. This will satisfy your noodles craving in an instant.
