Tips

1. Use bone soup as the soup stock to achieve the best taste. Or you can use chicken bone soup instead. Using chicken powder is OK but has a fresh aroma.

2. Crushed Sichuan pepper is not hot spicy. It only adds aroma to the soup and helps to cover all fishy smell of the seafood. No worries if you want to add more.

3. Beef rolls, meatballs, turnip, and fried bean curd are the best ingredients for this hot pot.
