As Fall season is approaching, I often crave for a nice hot pot to welcome the cooler weather. It becomes quite an occasion when friends and family are in town for visit. Some has called it an unforgettable feast. If you have not tried one, you might just want to give it a try at some point. it's very simple to fix, all you need is a very good pot of broth, fresh vegetables, fresh thinly sliced meats, seafood, good sauce to dunk the meat and seafood in.
The picture above is a hot pot dish served at a restaurant in Malaysia. You will notice that the pot contains mostly meatballs. When I make my hot pot at home, I like to fix up a variety of meat, seafood, stuffed vegetables, and more vegetables.
Steamboat meal (it's often referred to as Hot Pot) in the U.S. This meal evolves around family members and is usually prepared during Lunar Chinese New Year's Eve. Family members from near and far return home during this important once a year gathering and gather around the table and eat together. We also call this meal Family Reunion Dinner. I like to fix this meal in the winter simply because it's fitting and it brings warmth to both the heart and soul. I grew up eating lots of seafood, mainly fish. We have abundant seafood all year round. We love to serve shellfish, prawns and fish, and with lots of greens during this meal.
