Hot pot is a very big part of the Taiwanese culture and one of my (Annalicia’s) favorite aspects of Taiwanese cuisine. When people are enjoying hot pot, there will either be individual pots for each person (this is Japanese style) or a shared pot (this is Chinese style) of boiling broth for an entire table. Vegetables, meat and sometimes various kinds of noodles are thrown into the pot, cooked, taken out, usually dipped in different spices and eaten (most often with rice). Most people drink the broth after the noodles, meat and vegetables have been cooked.
Hot pot is fun and delicious! Phil and I hadn’t heard of it prior to coming to
What a fascinating blog post. Hot Pot!
ReplyDeleteHow nice Annalicia! Your first comment on your post was from your own husband and co-author of the blog :)
ReplyDeleteI did think it was a fascinating blog post, if only because I love food, love hearing about food, and love hearing about new foods that I should try :) It's a similar notion to fondue, huh?
When you come home, you two can throw a hot pot party (nice rhyme to that too ;) and then we can all experience the fun that is hot pot :)
HAVE A GREAT DAY GUYS!
