★★★★★ Cooking time: 30 minutes, Preparation: 10 minutes + Hot Cook: 20 minutes
In just 20 minutes, even hard vegetables such as cabbage cores, bell peppers, and carrots can be cooked to a moderate, easy-to-eat consistency.
When adding the meat to the Hot Cook inner pot, the key is to spread it out while breaking them up with your hands.
If you use a spoon to spread the pre-mixed seasoning over the meat, the meat will not clump, and the seasoning will soak in.
If you are using cabbage with much water, such as spring cabbage, you may want to use more potato starch to thicken the mixture.
The official Hot Cook recipe uses cabbage and bell peppers as ingredients, but you can also use eggplant, carrots, red bell peppers, or other vegetables cut into bite-sized pieces and added to the pot to make a vegetable-filled Hoicoro.
But if you add more vegetables than the amount indicated in the recipe, you may need to add a little more miso.
This is a dish that will satisfy even those on a diet!
