China Seafood Hot Pot
Seafood hot pot is a hearty, warming dish that is relished on cold evenings. A pot of simmering broth sits on a burner on the dining table. Diners drop into the hot pot selections from a smorgasbord of seafood, vegetables, and noodles. The broth is continually flavored and thickened as more items are cooked.
