(VIDEO) S5, E20 Chinese Hot Pot At Home

This episode is all about learning to make Chinese Hot Pot at home. It is by no means an expert or exhaustive guide, and it's not. a recipe, but a chat about Heather's experience trying her hand at making hot pot for her family. As we always tell you, we're not experts in anything. Life is easier that way. :-)
Hot pot is a flavourful broth traditionally served inside a large pot in the middle of the table. The broth is brought to a boil and left simmering for the duration of the meal. Raw ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, dumplings and noodles, are placed into the simmering broth and cooked until just done, and then enjoyed with a dipping sauce.
Hot pot is not soup! The broth is the medium for cooking, but the pieces (meat, veggies) are cooked a few things at a time and then eaten before adding more to the pot.
