Its winter, your cold hungry and have a few mates to feed... what to do? the answer Steam boat like duh... there's something so comforting about this wonderful creation, and for those who aren't too familiar this steam boat jibby jabber here's the 411. Its the equivalent of the Japanese shabu shabu, however filled to the brim with other ingredients. If your a glutton like me having 5/6 different ingredients to chomp on for dinner is just bliss. All the ingredients are served raw on different plates and are cooked in the simmering broth. The broth is one of the main components of this dish and can be varied depending on your taste(vegetarian,chicken,seafood). Personally because I'm such a creature of habit, my default broth is tom yum! The spice and zest works perfectly with the seafood. As you continue to eat the broth does its own magic trick and develops into the most rich flavor as it boils down, and the lucky fool who arrives late to dinner gets to benefit from this. when everything is out on the table its all hands on deck, every man for themselves beware thieving poops (your mates)who take your food out of the broth when your not watching.
