I love going to hotpot at the restaurant. How can I do it at home? What sort of equipment do I need? 
You will need the following:   A pot that's about 12" in diameter and 4 inches deep Put the broth in the pot, you can buy broth packages usually at Chinese/Asian supermarket. You just need to mix it with water and boil. Food you want to cook in the pot. Sliced beef is my favourite, but mussels, beef balls, fish balls, shrimps, veggies, etc. You will need chopsticks, hot pot scoop that looks like the following, so you can scoop the cooked food to your own plate:  To add flavour, usually you dip the cooked food in soya sauce, but a mixture of raw egg, soya sauce and satay sauce is used as the deep. You can even add chopped chili, green onions and chili oil to it.   Just make the broth. Cook the food you like as you eat. That's it!
