Hot Pot Soup

Hot pot soup is also known as soup-food or steamboat internationally. It’s a Chinese cooking method, prepared with a simmering pot of soup stock and any combination of East Asian ingredients the consumer desires.

Some Chinese merchants lace their hot pot soup with ethyl maltol, capsicum oleoresin and disodium 5’-ribonucleotide to make the soup taste like pork stock and heat quicker. They’ve even gone so far as to use meat that wasn’t fresh.
