During the winter, nothing provides more comfort than friends, laughs and a lazy meal, which is why the Chinese hot pot is the perfect alternative to a classic fondue. Much like the Swiss tradition, heated broth is placed in the middle of a table or serving area and a variety of raw ingredients are arranged for guests to cook in the stock. Along with dipping sauces, supply sliced meats, seafood, vegetables, dumplings, noodles, tofu and other fresh ingredients for your guests to make this interactive meal a soothing sensation.
