# Method Steps:
01 - In a large pot, combine broth, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, shiitake mushrooms, and chili. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for at least 30 minutes to develop flavor. Remove solids before serving.
02 - Prepare all proteins and vegetables and arrange thinly sliced meats, tofu, seafood, and vegetables on separate platters for easy access at the table.
03 - Soak noodles in warm water according to package instructions, then drain and set aside on a serving plate.
04 - Set up a portable burner or induction cooktop at the center of the table with a wide, shallow pot. Pour in the strained hot broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
05 - Each diner selects ingredients to cook in the simmering broth using chopsticks or slotted spoons. Proteins typically cook in 1 to 3 minutes; vegetables and noodles in 2 to 5 minutes.
06 - Serve cooked items with dipping sauces and garnishes of choice.
