Frequently asked questions

Light or dark soy sauce? Light is saltier and used for flavour. Dark is thicker, milder and mostly for colour. Most recipes want both, in different amounts.

What is hot pot? A spicy broth kept simmering at the table, where everyone cooks their own meat and vegetables as they go. The base comes ready-made in a block or pouch.
