Short description
This hot pot uses chicken and a light broth, with each portion often seasoned at the table with ponzu.
Ingredients
Chicken pieces and broth with cabbage, greens, tofu, mushrooms, scallions, and ponzu for dipping.
Cultural note
The cooking style keeps the broth restrained at first, then lets diners adjust each serving with citrusy sauce and condiments.
Common misconception
It is not the same as richer mixed hot pots; the chicken broth and dipping sauce are central to the experience.
