Winter Clay pot Comfort (because cold weather deserves hot food )

This cozy winter claypot is made for colder days when you want something fast, healthy, and deeply comforting without standing in the kitchen for hours. One pot, minimal effort, maximum flavour — we love an efficient queen.

The mung bean noodles soaks up all the savory goodness, the pork keeps it hearty, the prawns add sweetness, and the enoki mushrooms?

They sneak in with a slightly meaty bite that somehow makes everything taste richer and more indulgent… without actually being heavy. Sneaky, but we approve 

What you need

• 2 bundles mung bean noodles

• 8-10 prawns, peeled & deveined

• 400g minced pork

• Onion & garlic

•  (Chinese cabbage)

• Enoki mushrooms

• Spring onions

• Light soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil

• White pepper, cornstarch

• Chicken stock or water

Tofu optional at the end! 

How to make it

1. Marinate minced pork and prawns for at least 30 minutes (flavour takes time, beauty).
2. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant. Add soy sauce & oyster sauce, let it bubble, then set aside.
3. Wipe pot clean. Line the base with cabbage leaves (nature’s non-stick mat).
4. Add mung bean noodles directly on top.
5. Spread marinated pork evenly over the noodles.
6. Layer enoki mushrooms on top — trust the process.
7. Pour the onion-garlic sauce over everything.
8. Add chicken stock until halfway up the pot. Cover and simmer low for 10 mins.
9. Add prawns, tofu on top, cornstarch water,  cover and cook another 6-7 mins.
10. Finish with spring onions and serve hot!  

Why enoki mushrooms deserve the spotlight 

Enoki mushrooms are low calorie, high fibre, and packed with antioxidants.

They help:

• Support gut health

• Boost immunity (yes please in winter)

• Aid digestion

• Keep you feeling fuller for longer

Basically… tiny mushrooms doing big things 

This is the kind of dish that:

 warms your body

 feeds your soul

 makes you feel like you’ve got your life together

Fast, nourishing, cosy and cute — just like you 

Save this for cold nights, busy days, and when takeaway is tempting but your glow says home-cooked wins!
