Chinese fondue set

[moocher]

I found this in charity shop today,had to buy it as never seen or heard of one before.anyone use one before,
from what I can gather ,charcoal goes in the funnel,which heats water in the moat,and then veg /noodles and meat is simmered in the water??

I've seen them used but never used one. Many of the Asian
food I had while travelling was cooked in open or well ventilated areas. This company sells them and recommends fuel gel.

Make a strong veg stock (Knorr) and add to the bowl, thin sliced veg and meat are served to guest. Using some thing like a BBQ skewer drop meat/veg into stock to cook. Remove and eat, when all meat and bigger veg gone..... drink the soup.

They've got some good stuff. Just stocked up on dried fermented black beans and Chinese curry sauce powder (Saturday nights with chips to dip). Not terribly nutritious, but yummy all the same.

Black beans are a great ingredient, much better than the sugary muck from Sharwoods etc. Chop chilli, garlic, ginger, teaspoon of black beans, green pepper and meat of choice. Stir fry, add light soy and a bit of water. Thicken with cornstarch, pour on rice or noodles.

So everybody over to moocher's place this weekend and bring something for the pot?

Mongolian Firepot. Chicken or veg broth boiling over charcoal. Wire mesh ladle spoons to cook in so you don't lose your food in the murky broth.
Say 6 meats, 6 sauces and 8 veg. That's 288 combinations. At the end, whip a few eggs and stir that into the broth to cook = last course is soup.
Bought my first one China town, San Francisco 1975. Great dinner events
