A family favourite, perfect for the cold winter months. The list of ingredients is just my family's version - explore a Chinese supermarket and grab what catches your eye!
Bowl and plate per person
WHAT TO DO
1. Set the stove in the middle of the table and bring a wokful of water to boil.
2. Add the soup mix and add the balls, dumplings and any other ingredients that take a little bit of time to cook. Pop the lid on for 5 or so minutes.
3. Uncover and dig in with your choice of sauces.
4. Each person can cook the meat, tofu and vegetables at their leisure, or negotiate a group deposit into the hotpot.
5. When all steamboat participants are nearing stomach capacity, cook the noodles and slurp them up with some of the hotpot soup - it will be delicious from all the dipping!
