Step 1
Pour broth into a large pot or hot-pot cooker. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 2
While broth heats, arrange beef, chicken, tofu, bok choy, mushrooms, and scallions on a serving platter.
Step 3
Stir sesame paste with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chili oil in a small bowl.
Step 4
Set the hot pot at the table. Each diner adds their own ingredients to the simmering broth, cooks 30-60 seconds, then dips in sauce.
Step 5
Beef and chicken cook in 30-60 seconds; tofu and greens in 1-2 minutes. Keep the broth at a gentle boil.
