Thin slices of meat and vegetables dipped in a communal pot of slowly simmering broth.
Also known as a «Mongolian Firepot», this meal consists of two steps: first the fondue, then the soup. Apparently eating the soup at the end, rather than at the beginning as we do in the Western world, helps the digestion. There are no hard and fast rules for this meal, other than preparing a rather bland broth at the beginning (it will concentrate and get richer with time) and serving the meat or vegetables with a rather seasoned sauce: the one proposed here is the traditional sauce for «Shabu-Shabu» (which is the Japanese for Chinese fondue).
