懶人救星：沒有高湯，怎麼辦？
冬天，鍋物是大家最常開伙的好夥伴。除了暖呼呼之外，不外乎實在很簡單，只要把材料放進鍋子裡煮熟，就能享用。
前一陣子，某位親子兼美食作家告訴我，煮火鍋還是要高湯才行。但誰會常備高湯？拿起超市裡的高湯罐頭往成分標示一看，就又不想吃有太多添加物的，立馬放回去。怎麼辦？這裡有幾招速成的。
1.清淡的昆布高湯。把昆布（約15*10公分）略微擦拭，泡水（兩公升）一整夜。要煮火鍋時，這就是很鮮美的高湯。可在煮時再加入柴魚片約三十秒撈起，最後再調點醬油。
2.懶人高湯。準備一堆冬季蔬菜，如蘿蔔、菜心、白菜等，連同番茄、玉米、香菇一起入鍋加水煮滾，慢煮約15分鐘。重點是，最後加入蛤蠣。此火鍋會越煮越鮮甜，蔬菜的甘甜和蛤蠣的鮮美，會一併融入湯裡。而且這些料也都可以食用。因為加入番茄，湯頭會帶著微微的酸，很有層次。
