Thanksgiving hot pot!

The package of these noodles says "Sweet potato threads for hot pot," so we did hot pot! We used our Instant Pot as the hot pot. It worked very well. We put a noodle strainer into the pot to make it easier to get the noodles out once they were cooked. The broth was two cartons chicken broth and a packet of onion soup mix then enough water to fill the pot. In the future, I'd like to use fresh onion. Otherwise, it was very good. For dipping sauces, I used Lao Gan Ma spicy chili crisp and soy sauce with sesame oil. Everything was delicious!

I have more noodles left, so I will try something else with them.

Noodle 9: Lucky K.T. Co., Inc. Steamed Chowmein

Type: fresh Size: 14 oz. Price: $2.19 Price per oz.: $0.16 For this noodle, I adapted Joshua Weismann's The Cheapest Noodle Dish Ever (Chicken Chow Mein). Alterations: Instead of hoisin sauce or oyster sauce, I used mushroom based vegetarian oyster sauce. Instead of fresh garlic, I used jarred (the fresh garlic I bought had sprouted significantly in the few days since I bought it.) Instead of chicken, I used tofu. Instead of celery and bean sprouts, I doubled the carrots and green onions. This was just alright. I don't think it was enough sauce, and the noodles were very very dry. I would try this again with different brand noodles and I'd use 1.5x sauce (hopefully with fresh garlic!) I think the fault mostly lies with the noodles. Luckily, I made the full package of noodles (had leftovers for lunch for a week), and now I don't need to find a way to use them again.

Noodle 8: Shirakiku Buckwheat Noodle

Type: dried Size: 28.21 oz. Price: $4.89 Price per oz.: $0.17 Sauce: Shirakiku straight soba soup base There isn't much to say. Very easy to make and very yummy. Not very filling, so this isn't a whole meal. The package has 8 portions, so I'll be eating these for a while! I'll update if I decide to get creative with them. Basic cold soba is one of my favorite noodles, so I'm very happy with them as they are.
