A classic northern chinese dish, the mongolian hot pot is traditionally made with mutton. The easiest way to prepare the broth is to purchase a leg of lamb and heat it in boiling water before slicing. However, chicken broth can be substituted. For best results, use a firm bean curd. Suggested dipping sauces include soy sauce, sesame paste, preserved (fermented) bean curd, chili oil, hoisin sauce, and red rice vinegar.
