Simmering, sensational hot pot is a fantastic way to warm yourself up in the cold winter weather (or enjoy any other time of the year)!  Perfect for group dining, hot pot is a cooking technique and cuisine that originated in China. For those unfamiliar with this cuisine, a flame in the middle of a dining table keeps pot of flavorful broth simmering, and you’ll add delicious meat and vegetables to the broth and cook them to your liking.
