Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour broth into a large pot or hot-pot cooker. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. Step 2

    While broth heats, arrange beef, chicken, tofu, bok choy, mushrooms, and scallions on a serving platter.

  3. Step 3

    Stir sesame paste with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chili oil in a small bowl.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Beef and chicken cook in 30-60 seconds; tofu and greens in 1-2 minutes. Keep the broth at a gentle boil.

Tools you’ll need

  • large pot or electric hot-pot cooker with burner
  • serving platter
  • small dipping bowls (one per diner)
  • slotted spoon or strainer basket
  • chopsticks or long tongs
