Simple Mushroom and Veggie Hotpot

Simple vegetable and mushroom hotpot that I had during a recent tour. I would never have thought of using cucumber in hotpot and in here, trying to recreate it. Add some light soy sauce or granulated mushroom bouillon, if desired. With steaming hot rice, you can enjoy a fuss free and healthy meal.
