Tips

1. Pork bones soup is better than chicken bone soup for this hot pot base. Only use chicken powder if you don’t have these two kinds of broth.

2. Sliced lamb is the perfect ingredients for this hot pot base. Sliced beef comes after that.

3. When having hot pot, cook and eat the meat ingredients first, such as meatball, sliced lamb and beef tripe. Always cook vegetables in the last, such as lettuce and cabbage, because green vegetable absorbs oil and seasoning’s aroma. The soup becomes less taste and fragrant after cooking vegetables.
