After the tiresome traveling during the day time, I’m just too lazy to cook tonight. So I just took my parents to a Chinese restaurant to have hot pot for dinner. It was a little bit expansive but it’s really nice and we had a wonderful night. What a life!!!
Have you ever had hot pot before? It’s a kind of Chinese fondue, refers to several Chinese varieties of steamboat stew. I recalled that someone once told me that it had its origins in the region of Mongolia.
When you have hot pot in a Chinese restaurant, a metal pot will be placed on open fire at the center of the dining table with simmering stock in it. You can put different ingredients, including meat, vegetables, dumplings, and seafood, etc., into the pot while the hot pot is simmering. The food will be cooked in the stock then. I prefer to eat my food with a dipping sauce. There are various kinds of sauce options. Doesn’t it sound great?!
