Chinese Hot Pot. So typically, "hot pot" has one large pot of broth that everyone in your part cooks their vegetables and meats in. You get the broth to a boil and share the experience, which is what meal time is all about in China - sharing the experience. But it's also seen as completely unhygienic as all these chopsticks are all dipped in the pot, thus introducing everyone's germs into the mix. And for vegetarians, it's a nightmare as meats are introduced into the pot. My daughter knew of this restaurant in Kunming where everyone got their own pot of broth, thus avoiding both the problems. I got the hot and spicy broth for my vegetables. You boil your vegetables and then individually pick them out of your broth and eat then. You can coat them in spices or sauces after taking them out. It was delicious.
