How to make it:
Boil water, together with the broth, in the hot pot pan. Instead of a hot pot pan, you can also use a pan on an induction cooker. It's important that the pan remains boiling hot. Add spring onions to the water. Arrange all the ingredients on different plates and put them on the dining table, together with the hot pot pan. Each guest can use a fondue net to put whatever they like in the hot broth until it’s done. Once the ingredient is done, you can dip it in a sauce, for instance chili sauce or hoisin sauce.
