Generally you make a much stronger stock by frying off your spices.
I also recommend fermented black beans to avoid avoiding too much soya and be careful with hard spices like anise because it becomes very strong.

Yi reservations and China Sichuan food both have good recipes

buy a base like every other asian family, the ones in my pic (little sheep and haidilao) are good. add some garlic and coriander to the base and cook it in the pot until everything's sizzling, then add your water and some stock cubes to taste.

after that it's pretty simple. buy shabu shabu meats or otherwise freeze some pork/beef yourself and slice it thin, it should be thin enough to cook in the stock in less than a minute. include mushrooms, chinese veg, tofu, dumplings and whatever else you want. try to time the cooking so you can scoop everything out into your bowl, and can fill the pot to cook again while you're eating

have fun op

Incredibly based

the only hot pot worth eating is Tom Yum hot pot, with pineapple mushrooms and a whole fish, served with rice on the side. All these szeshawn peppers and hot oil soup nonsense is communist trash that's bland and gay.

looks like a waste of kitchen space
next time buy an oven with a simmer notch on the dial

It sits in the middle of the table on a burner.

Also, buy the meat and fish balls on the upper right side below the mushrooms.

That looks like a pan that has a divider in the middle

Hot pots are something you can just put random shit in and eat.
Get a bunch of veggies, toss em in. Get a cheap piece of meat to put in, and ethnic spices.

For some reason I fucking hate the taste of the meat balls but am perfectly fine with the fish balls. I can't even describe why I hate it, but I am repulsed by the very idea of it.

chinese cabbage is all you need for hot pot
just get some quality ponzu to dip it in

based wang gang has a recipe for hot hots
