Delicious Steamboat

Today I went to celebrate Chinese New Year to my local friend's house and we had some awesome traditional dinner. The dish is called steamboat and I love it! These are the ingredients:


First you have this base soup that is made out of boiled tomatoes, carrots, onions and tons of lemon grass. You then need additional food to complement this, that you will add later when the soup is boiling. You can have:


Bee Hoon (the rice noodles),



mushrooms (the salad is for something else),


and dumplings, fishballs and meatballs.


You can also add shrimps, tofu and different kind of sauces. The pot is put in the midle of the stove (the thing covered in aluminium foil) until it starts boiling. Meanwhile you can put butter on the remaining aluminium foil area in oder to fry some of the things (some shrimps or dumplings, sausages, meat...).


You can add the sauces into the soup as well as mushrooms, tofu, dumplings and so on... and then everyone can take some while combining it with some of the fried goods around the pot. It is really, really good and I guess if we ignore the whole frying with butter thing it's quite healthy. 

It's also a lot of fun to do, so a big thanks to Karen who invited me over on this special occasion! :)
