edit About Hot Pot
Hot pot is a common Asian dinner where a variety of meats, vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, dumplings or noodles are cooked at the dining table in a large pot. The pot is filled with broth and placed over a portable burner then brought up to a boil.
Each person cooks their food by placing into the boiling broth, then dips into any number of sauces (soy sauce, sesame paste, oyster sauce, chiu chow sauce). As food is cooked throughout the meal, the broth becomes more richly flavored.
Near the end of the meal, noodles are added to the pot and cooked. Each guest is then given a bowl of cooked noodles topped with the remaining broth.
Since the meal utilizes a burner and can last for a long period of time, the meal is most commonly eaten in Winter as it can tend to heat up the house.

:''Not to be confused with Hotspot.'' :''For the style of "hot pot" cooking that uses a clay pot, see Clay pot cooking. For the English dish, see Lancashire hotpot''. Hot pot (), less commonly Chinese fondue or steamboat, refers to several East Asian varieties of stew, consisting of a simmering metal pot of stock at the center of the dining table. While the hot pot is kept simmering, ingredients are placed into the pot and are cooked at the table. Typical hot pot dishes include thinly sliced meat, leafy vegetables, mushrooms, wontons, egg dumplings, and seafood. The cooked food is usually eaten with a dipping sauce. In many areas, hot pot meals are often eaten in the winter.
