- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil

- 1 pound Thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 pound Thinly sliced pork belly
- 0.5 pound Peeled shrimp
- 1 block Firm tofu, cubed (optional, for keto-friendly tofu)
- 4 heads Baby bok choy, halved
- 4 cups Spinach

Instructions
1. Prepare the broth by adding the chicken bone broth to a large pot or hotpot base. Bring it to a simmer on medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic, sliced ginger, dried shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, and chili paste (if using) to the broth. Allow it to simmer for 20 minutes to develop depth of flavor.
3. While the broth is simmering, prepare the hotpot ingredients. Thinly slice the meat (if not already done), peel and devein the shrimp, cube the tofu (if using), and wash and chop the vegetables as needed.
4. Arrange all the hotpot ingredients — meats, seafood, vegetables, and keto-friendly noodles — on platters for sharing. Keep them separate to make it easier to cook in the broth.
5. Once the broth is ready, transfer it to a table-friendly hotpot or keep it on low heat on the stove. Adjust seasoning as needed with more soy sauce or sesame oil.
6. For dipping sauces, mix rice vinegar with chopped scallions in small bowls for each guest.
7. To eat, allow guests to cook their selection of meats, vegetables, and noodles in the hotpot broth until cooked to their liking. Use slotted spoons or chopsticks to retrieve ingredients.
8. Garnish cooked ingredients with fresh cilantro and enjoy with the dipping sauce.
