Hot Pot

Today Rose, who is one of our coordinators, was in town from Denver and took us to eat Chinese Hot Pot. The concept is that they have a huge vat of boiling broth in the middle of the table, and bring you various raw things that you add to the broth to make soup, and then fish them back out again to eat. You might consider it the Chinese version of fondue. I couldn’t even begin to tell you everything we had, but it involved several kinds of noodles, beef and lamb strips, chicken, pig brain, tofu, mushrooms, lotus root, several kinds of greens, shrimp, fish, and Chinese yams. We had one spicy side, and one not spicy broth, and both were delicious! We wore aprons provided by the restaurant to keep our clothes clean!
