#04 of my top ten favorite Vietnamese dishes: Lẩu (Hot pot)

Lẩu (Hot pot) refers to several East Asian varieties of stew, consisting of a simmering metal pot of stock at the center of the dining table. While the hot pot is kept simmering, ingredients are placed into the pot and are cooked at the table. Typical hot pot dishes include thinly sliced meat, leaf vegetables, mushrooms, wontons, egg dumplings, tofu and seafood - all things imaginable. The cooked food is usually eaten with a dipping sauce. (Wikipedia)

The cool thing about this dish is that it is something like a social event which has to be enjoyed with many people. You add your ingredients and in the end, the broth is best, having taken all the flavors of what you've put in it.
