Hotpot

It's been raining all day today in Hawaii so me and my family decided to have hotpot for dinner because its cold. Before that there were preparations, I went grocery shopping with my mom to buy some fish, squid, enoki mushrooms, shrimp, shabu shabu meat, and lobster balls. In Chinese cuisine, it is typical to have more than one dish. I would compare it to nabeyaki udon but having all of the ingredients out in the table and slowly cooking it on a pot. I personally love eating hotpot because it's so easy to prepare. Even if someone hasn't cooked before, setting everything up is very easy. I also like hotpot because its a meal where everyone gathers and bond with one another, eating, sharing, and talking with each other. If any of you haven't tried hotpot before, give it a try with your friends or family!
