I often get the munchies and throw some spices, various sauces depending on what im craving (fish, hoisin, siraracha, soy, etc), tofu in various forms (soft, firm, sheet, fried), meat/fish balls and cakes, baby bok choi, chives, garlic, various cuts of meat, watercress, diakon, spinach, cabbage, sometimes cuts of tomatoes. Add in some vermicelli, rice, and dumplings for something more filling.

if vegetarian, you can try adding some miso?

imo home hot pot/nabe is usually a light meal. it makes sense to build on top of a simple stock like a mushroom or tomato stock. throwing protein in there (not too lean) is enough to give you the oomph.
