Ingredients
For 4 servings
Method
In a large hotpot or heavy pot, combine chicken stock, water, chili oil, fermented black beans, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilies, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to develop flavors. Add soy sauce and sesame oil.
Arrange all raw ingredients on plates around the table - sliced meats, seafood, vegetables, tofu, and noodles.
Place the bubbling broth pot on a portable burner in the center of the table.
Using chopsticks or small strainers, cook ingredients directly in the broth - thin meats need 10-15 seconds, vegetables 1-2 minutes, noodles 2-3 minutes.
Serve with individual dipping bowls and let everyone cook and eat at their own pace.
Keep broth simmering throughout the meal, adding more stock or water as needed.

Tips & variations
Timing is Key
Cook delicate items like leafy greens and thin meats for just seconds, while root vegetables and dumplings need several minutes. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking!
Broth Maintenance
Keep the broth at a gentle boil throughout the meal and skim any foam that rises. Add hot water or stock as needed to maintain the level.
Dipping Sauce Magic
Mix sesame oil, soy sauce, chopped garlic, and chili oil in individual bowls. Each person can customize their dipping sauce to taste.
Mild Version
Use a clear chicken broth base without chili oil and Sichuan peppercorns for a gentler, family-friendly hotpot that kids will enjoy.
Dual Broth Hotpot
Use a divided pot with spicy Sichuan broth on one side and mild mushroom or chicken broth on the other, giving everyone options.
