Hot Pot

cooking · food · Asia · interactive

Broth stays bubbling. A pot of soup or stock sits in the center of the table with a heat source underneath, keeping the liquid hot and steamy the whole meal long.

You cook your own food. Instead of a chef cooking for you in a kitchen, you pick raw ingredients like thin meat slices and vegetables, then dip them into the hot broth to cook them in seconds.

Called steamboat too. This dish is known as hot pot in many places, but in some regions it's called steamboat, and it's been popular in China and other Asian countries for hundreds of years.

Teamwork meal. Hot pot brings people together because everyone gathers around one steaming pot and cooks their own bites while chatting and sharing food.

Soy-based sides. Along with the meat and veggies, the meal includes soy-based foods that you can also dip in the broth to soak up all the yummy flavors.
