Instructions

- Once the broth has simmered, season with salt to taste then spoon out into a shallow pot or hotpot dish. Place on a burner or hotplate in the middle of the table and serve with meat, seafood and vegetables.
- If the broth reduces too much while you're eating you can top it up with water or any remaining broth.
