As Chinese, hotpot has always been my top list for friends dining together. It's so easy to prepare and save your time of cooking, and most importantly, really tasty. Just always remember to store some concentrated liquid broth, sauces, sliced meat and veges in your fridge, and you'll good to go. I strongly recommend all people who doesn't try hotpot to give it a shot. (except for those on diet xd)

Is that the same as ramen?

[@nailatussilmik8566]

this is so informative for me who is not experienced with hotpot. really show me the know-how trick to eat hotpot. love it. thank you for this content

[@TheSaneHatter]

Thank you for showing us the "trick" of using the two ends of the chopsticks to handle raw and cooked food. People on "hot-pot" videos always complain when they see double-dipping; this would seem to be the solution.

[@Reginapericolosa]

Nick Hentschel From my personal experience, there is always two pairs of chopsticks at the Hot Pot places I went to (one plastic, one wood) so you can always just use one to handle the raw food and one to handle the cooked food.

[@TheSaneHatter]

Regina Pericolosa Not mine, I'm afraid, but I've only been to one "place."

[@haikalsusanto3931]

+Nick Hentschel i love how you always do "this"

[@fqn3]

+Nick Hentschel I wouldn't worry too much about hot-pot etiquette. Our family think it's ridiculous to flip chopsticks back and forth. The tip of the chopsticks will be constantly hot anyways when fishing for food in the hot-pot so you don't have to worry about contamination. Plus, if you're eating a raw egg, then using the other end of the chopstick is useless. The double-dipping is solved by pouring sauce into your own bowl, we always do this. bon appétit!

[@501inmyseoul]

3 hours and still eating? The boss is gonna cry ,good job Fang bros

[@TheRealIronMan]

Monica S Restaurants like this are usually very party oriented, its pretty common to just sit there eat & drink & chat for hours as long as you don't go ape shit crazy

[@cupcakekingdom4117]

+Monica S With hot pot you do actually stay there for 3+ hours. It's a evening long meal, you also need to cook everything which takes time and between bites here and there, you enjoy the company of your friends and family. It's highly common so the owners of this restaurants would actually cry if you already leave within an hour or so xD

[@24willa]

+Monica S other than what +cupcakekingdom said, that ur supposed to eat for 3 hr -ish/plus, they are clearly doing some advertisement for this hot pot restaurant, im sure the boss is more than happy to have them there for 3+ hours. ;)

I live in NY and during the winters, it can get down to 10-15 degrees. There's no better feeling in the world than to get a nice hot pot with your peoples during a grueling winter where you are freezing your ass off on the way to the hot pot spot. That first bite is like a step from hell to heaven. West coast cats can never have this experience.

How Andrew turn his chopsticks the other way round when dealing with the raw food is just so brilliant!

[@hmrhuang]

Fun video guys, but I somewhat disagree with your summary of order-of-cooking food items. Generally, you should cook meats first -- it lends more flavor to your soups while veggies (especially the leafy kinds like spinach and watercress) and tofu (especially deep-fried) tend to soak up all the oils from the soup (which reduces the flavor intensity of the broths, something you don't want to happen too quickly -- remember, all restaurants will do is just add more WATER to your pots if they see the volume get low!). In addition, more meats at the beginning ensure you're getting good value for your meal; last time I checked, most people don't go to hot pot for all-you-can-eat veggies. You can also put in starchier veggies (e.g., potatoes), hard root veggies (e.g., daikon and lotus roots), and mushrooms (for flavor) at this time. After most of the meats are eaten, then you can start putting in leafy veggies and tofu. Traditionally, most people finish the meal with some noodles and the soup (which is just FANTASTIC at the end since it's been cooking all the meats and veggies!). However, the caveat for Cantonese hot pot is that this meal is very acidic (especially the spicy broths!) and is relatively high in sodium (because of the seasonings in the broths and sauces) (which can lead to hypertension, a genuine health concern in our culture...)....

I'm glad to know eating hotpot is a messy affair for everyone. I went to one yesterday and felt embarrassed trying to eat without spilling any drops, but it was no use. Messy eating, but *so* worth it

I know my comments get lost in the fold of meaningless opinions, but i felt compelled to praise this educational and well compiled and edited video. I thought the funny side jokes were entertaining and engaging, but the close at around 6:30 where you explain the nostalgic feeling of family brings the whole meaning full circle. Thanks for the education and well thought out production

[@rockabelle101]

hey y'all know i love these east/southeast asian cuisine videos, but how 'bout you guys change it up and try south asian food? definitely try some pakistani restaurants if there are any good ones around your area!

That'll be cool. Pakistani briyani is the best.

[@rockabelle101]

OCSleazy ughh yes i just had some for dinner!

[@trinhcuong-vz1yr]

U guys should get yr group channel, nit racist any but we want talk about closer to home, east asians, chop stick users, so we don't feel lost, in anotger world, plus this channel just small young kids, can't cover too wide. U should have like south asian group channel to explain 2nd gen about their own old traditional ways, food of india, pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, by the way I love curry, I got have it once month, so bread once a week, taco 1s 2 week, these none easterners stuffs. Oh by the way, Fungbro should have show about eastern version of curry, especially Vietnamese 1, they use sweet yam, potato, coconut n eat with vietnamese bread, oh its so good. U got try it man or women, I can't telllfrom yr own language name.

[@rockabelle101]

trinhcuong1961 i think that even though south, southeast, and east asians are so different, we are all still asian and that's what brings us together! but you're right, but i would like to see some mainstream youtubers discuss south asian cuisine since south asian are underrepresented in the asian community (in my opinion) but i understand what you mean!

do another type of hot pot when riche is there

[@Gaziz85]

Hello, i'm about to go try Hot Pot tomorrow. I have a question please: I cannot figure out, how you eat - whether you should a) add all the stuff to soup base (first meats, then veggies, etc.) and consume as a SOUP once ready, OR b) dip the meats and other things into boiling soup for 30-40sec and then eat piece by piece with sauce?? Or Both?? I realize I may be overthinking this, but it's really confusing concept to me, lol. I must be use to a "singular" meal type of thing (like a hotdog), where you just eat, and you're done. :D

[@akumaakemi8292]

ik it’s late, but usually i don’t drink the broth due to me being japanese and eating shabu shabu. but you can do it how ever you like.

Do you. . . . Like. . . . .cook your items in a certain order? I always did my potatoes and root veggies first bc they take so long to cook and then the thin sliced meat I'd just swish it around last minute bc I always worry it would overcook and get tough and chewy.

Thanks for this... Most embarrassing resteraunt moment...going for Hot Pot in Flushing NY by accident just because at 3pm friend thought it looked busier than the Korean place and had a cute sign... Then not knowing what the hell to do while texting Chinese friend, and StILL messing it up with not ordering enough food, putting sauces directly in the pot and having a silent war w/ the waitress over the table being on or not (my friend didn't like the smoke in her face when she was done)... >< will have to go back and try it again... Just not at THAT one...

[@albertteng1191]

Dont dump all finely sliced beef, and lamb all at once, it becomes tough real fast. Trick is to use your chopstick and pic a slice of meat and put it in the broth and let it stay there for 30 seconds and you eat. This way the meat stays tender and flavorful. But dont do this with chicken or pork, you might get sick. They need to be cooked thoroughly. We always have hotpot almost 2x a month here in the philippines, eat all you can
