Prep Time
This dish requires a bit of prep time before you start cooking. You will need to marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to ensure that the lamb is flavorful and tender when it is cooked. You will also need to prepare the broth ingredients, such as the ginger, garlic, and scallions. Lastly, you will need to prepare the vegetables and other ingredients that you will be adding to the hot pot.
Cook Time
The cook time for this dish is relatively short. Once you have the lamb and broth ingredients prepped, you will need to cook the lamb first. This will take about 10 minutes. Then, you can add the broth ingredients and the vegetables to the pot and let them simmer for 15 minutes. Finally, you can add the noodles, tofu, and other ingredients that you are using and let them cook for another 10 minutes.

Recipe Tips
For a vegetarian version of this dish, simply omit the lamb and substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. You can also add a variety of other vegetables, such as spinach or broccoli, to add more flavor and nutrition.
For an extra-flavorful broth, add a few slices of fresh ginger to the pot while it is simmering. This will add a subtle yet delicious flavor to the soup.
If you don’t have udon noodles on hand, any type of noodle will work. Ramen noodles, rice noodles, and soba noodles are all great options.
