Choose your favorite broth. If you're making it from scratch, bring chicken or vegetable stock to a boil. For an extra kick, add some ginger, garlic, and dried chili. Boil for 10-15 minutes for flavors to develop.

Chop all your proteins and vegetables. Thinly slice your meats against the grain for tenderness. Toss the veggies and mushrooms in a bowl for easy access during cooking.

Place a portable burner in the center of your table. Set your prepared broth on it and bring it to a gentle simmer. Surround it with all your chopped ingredients, dipping sauces, and any extras you have.

Gather everyone around the table. Use chopsticks or small slotted spoons to add ingredients to the broth. Cook proteins for about 1-3 minutes, veggies a bit less, depending on your desired tenderness.

While the ingredients cook in the broth, have your guests mix their dipping sauces. Provide options to encourage creativity!

Once everything is cooked, serve it up. Dip each delicious morsel into your chosen sauce and savor the flavors. Engage in conversation, laughter, and community as you share this delightful experience.
