1. Select Your Soup Base: Choose your favorite from our expanded selection above.

2. Prepare Ingredients: Slice your choice of meats, poultry, or seafood (we offer frozen thin sliced beef and pork as well as some frozen fish at our store), and wash and cut plenty of fresh vegetables, tofu, etc. Arrange them attractively on platters. Also prepare noodles/rice for the final course.

3. Heat & Simmer: Bring your chosen soup base to a boil in a large pot (an electric hot pot or a standard pot on a portable burner works great).
