Also called shabu-shabu or nabemono (鍋物) in Japanese, hot pot cooking is an amazing Asian style of eating delicious meats and vegetables. A literal hot pot of broth and delicious seasonings is maintained at the table, and then each person can put the meat or other foods they want to eat into the simmering broth and cooked. It is a delightful way to eat just what you want, cooked just the way you want it, with some amazing flavors. This particular visit was to a chain restaurant in central Beijing called HaiDiLao.
