1. The restaurant uses a small alcohol hot pot. I don’t have one, so I use a multi-function pot. You can also heat it on the induction cooker and eat it at the same time. 2. For students who cannot eat spicy food, you can eat it with yogurt to reduce the spicy taste. 3. Eat while cooking. Add other side dishes after finishing the chicken. Do not throw away the remaining soup to waste. It is also delicious to leave a meal of stewed potatoes. 4. You can choose any side dishes you like. 5. Since the hot pot base and bean paste contain salt, there is no need to add salt. 6. For chicken, it is best to choose chicken legs. Do not cut the whole chicken into pieces. Pure chicken legs will taste better. 7. Seasonings can be added according to your own taste. 8. Chicken has a high protein content, many types, and high digestibility. It is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body and has the effect of enhancing physical strength and strengthening the body
