Megan's Kitchen Focus
With the first hints of autumn in the air in Hong Kong, it’s no surprise that our hotpot cravings are also on the rise—and Megan’s Kitchen’s delicious new health-focused offerings are certain to whet your appetite for hotpot season
A perennial go-to for high-quality hotpot in the city, Megan’s Kitchen continues to raise the bar with innovative, lovingly home-made dishes that deliver on both flavour and nutrition—as showcased by its latest vegetarian range, which highlight revolutionary plant-based meats Beyond Meat and Omnipork. Whether you’re a vegetarian, are partaking in #MeatlessMonday or simply love a good dumpling or meatball in your hotpot, this quartet of creative crowd-pleasers are certain to go down a treat.
Megan’s Kitchen have created two wholesome options starring Beyond Meat, which features zero soy, gluten or cholesterol. Their mouth-watering Beyond Meat dumplings are made with a richly comforting filling of Beyond Meat, carrots and olives, whilst their Beyond Meatballs use a combination of fresh mushrooms and aromatic black truffle paste to create mini umami bombs of flavour.
There are also two new dishes featuring Omnipork, which boasts higher fibre, calcium and iron and lower calories and saturated fat levels than real pork. Megan’s Kitchen has combined this cutting-edge ingredient with traditional, nutrient-packed vegetables frequently used in Chinese home cooking—straw mushrooms and pickled mustard stems for their Omnipork dumplings, and watercress and fresh Chinese yam for their Omnipork balls.
Meat eaters will also be spoilt for choice with other appetising menu additions, which all focus on fresh superfood ingredients loaded with health-boosting benefits.
If you thought kale was only found in holier-than-thou Western dishes, think again; Megan’s Kitchen has created a beef, kale and garlic dumpling to ensure you can take advantage of the wonder-green’s antioxidant, protein and vitamin-rich qualities in your hotpot too. Meanwhile, for a hefty dose of fibre alongside folic acid and vitamins A, C and K, look to their comforting pork, spring bean and preserved olive dumplings.
Soybean sprouts are packed with vital bioactive compounds that have been proven to help maintain eye and bone health—and their distinctive taste and crunchy texture make them a winner in cooking terms too, as seen in Megan’s Kitchen’s new hand-beaten pork, leek and soybean sprout meatballs.
