Chinese Hot Pot Soup

Cut the meats into as thin slices as possible and arrange these separately in a plate. Mix sauce ingredients and place 3 to 4 dishes around the tables. Put a big pot on an electric fire on the dinning table. Fill it with water. Add half the amount of vegetables and cook for 10 minutes. to extract juices. Each guest picks up the meat of his choice with a long fork and dips it in the boiling soup for 2 to 3 minutes, then quickly dips it in the sauce and eats it while still hot. When all the meats have been eaten the vegetables and noodles are added to the soup and boiled for 5 minutes. These are served in bowls to the guests. If you like you can also serve a rice dish with the soup.
