What Makes It Uncommon

Shared Simmer

If soup puts the heart at ease, hotpot makes the heart do a happy dance. Makers Amy Hsiao and Mike Chen's starter kit provides everything you need to re-create the 1,000-year-old culinary tradition.

Start off by gearing up with your favorite apron, two pots on the stove, and the kit's ladle. Then bring Amy and Mike's acclaimed flavor bases (Rich Tomato and Chongqing Heat) to a boil, side by side. Once your broths are bubbling, cook up either of the included noodles (thick or thin ramen) along with your own veggies and proteins by adding them to the continuously simmering pools of deliciousness.

The kit also contains savory and spicy dipping sauces to customize the condiments for those freshly broth-boiled morsels. So much more than just a soup, Amy and Mike's DIY kit is a recipe for a slurpable shared experience to be enjoyed again and again.

created by

Amy Hsiao and Mike Chen

Amy Hsiao was always interested in baking, cooking, and exploring cuisines. Realizing a lack of centralized places to look for recipes, the born-and-raised New Yorker, from Queens, decided to “create something focused specifically on Asian American nostalgia,” she says. Amy founded a baking-kit company and a dessert bar in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, where she met food social-media influencer Mike Chen. Today, they bring people together through shared, guided culinary experiences.

Loved it so much, we bought it TWICE

Chinese Hot Pot was the first Uncommon Goods experience that we tried. My husband gifted this to me for Christmas and we invited our neighbors over to enjoy it with us. We were intimidated because we had never tried hot pot at home or in a restaurant. We loved the format and all of the suggestions for ingredients. Although, I must admit that I treated the list as a challenge to see how many of those items I could find. This was also fantastic because we all learned that we loved Baby Bok Choy and Daicon (who knew???). The class was very interactive and we were able to follow along easily. Hot Pot became one of our favorite meals and we have hosted another dinner with friends since. Our neighbors ordered the kit from the company and hosted us recently. I just gifted the Hot Pot experience to my long distance friend and she called me on FaceTime after the class to tell me how much they enjoyed it. I highly recommend the Uncommon Goods experiences to anyone who is tired of material gifting. There is something for everyone! We have tried several of the experiences but Hot Pot will always be my favorite. FYI, the hot is HOT!!
