What vegetables can be put into a hotpot?

A variety of vegetables are commonly used to add flavour, texture, and nutrition. Popular choices can include leafy greens like spinach, cabbage, and bok choy, which cook quickly and absorb the broth. Root vegetables like radish, onions, carrots, and potatoes provide heartiness. Tofu or beans are also frequent additions for extra protein. Ultimately, there can be a wide variety of vegetables added into a hotpot depending on preferences and tastes. For a traditional twist, a Vegetarian Lancashire Hotpot would see a layering of onions and carrots, topped with thinly sliced potatoes brushed with butter.
