<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 289384, member: 360&quot;]As others have said, they&#039;re called hotpots or steamboats (my family, we called them &#039;steamboats&#039;). In Japan, I think they&#039;re called Nabe or something like that (actually, I think &#039;nabe&#039; is the food INSIDE the pot). </p><p><br /></p><p>You chuck charcoal down the chimney and set the thing on fire. The ash drops down the bottom into the pan underneath. Occasionally, you chuck another piece of coal in the top to keep it ticking over. Once it&#039;s going strong, then you fill the bowl with broth or soup or water or whatever. Once it&#039;s hot and bubbly, you chuck in noodles, dumplings, fishcakes, prawns, meat, etc etc etc etc. Cook it all up...</p><p><br /></p><p>NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a BIG tradition all around Asia, especially SE Asia, China, and Japan.</p><p><br /></p><p>I grew up eating out of one of these. It&#039;s a lot of fun to cook with![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
