HOW TO EAT HOT POT! (Chinese Hot Pot 101) - Fung Bros Food 

Lmao I have a date later. Came here to learn before I go 😂😂😂😂

8 years later... folks still learning from y'all. Love your spirit. Thank you!

As Chinese, hotpot has always been my top list for friends dining together. It's so easy to prepare and save your time of cooking, and most importantly, really tasty. Just always remember to store some concentrated liquid broth, sauces, sliced meat and veges in your fridge, and you'll good to go. I strongly recommend all people who doesn't try hotpot to give it a shot. (except for those on diet xd)

I wonder if the camera guy ever gets some of the food...

Ayyyy cool video bros

These guys are cool but not careless, and give you safety tips on how to eat it traditionally so to not burn your self. What a great team. I wish them multiple millions of hits!!

I'll admit it. Hot pot looks delicious.

3 hours and still eating? The boss is gonna cry ,good job Fang bros

this is so informative for me who is not experienced with hotpot. really show me the know-how trick to eat hotpot. love it. thank you for this content

Thank you for showing us the "trick" of using the two ends of the chopsticks to handle raw and cooked food. People on "hot-pot" videos always complain when they see double-dipping; this would seem to be the solution.

Today in my college Chinese language class, we spent most of the class time watching your videos related to food, your videos are Chinese professor approved ~

I live in NY and during the winters, it can get down to 10-15 degrees. There's no better feeling in the world than to get a nice hot pot with your peoples during a grueling winter where you are freezing your ass off on the way to the hot pot spot. That first bite is like a step from hell to heaven. West coast cats can never have this experience.

How Andrew turn his chopsticks the other way round when dealing with the raw food is just so brilliant!

I went to a restaurant called little lamb in Chinatown chicago last week. I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO USE IT. my waiter couldn't speak much English and he didn't explain much to me even after I aksed and told him I'm new. It was a fail I wish I saw this video first. But I'm going back and doing it again. FIGHTING!

I say asian desserts next!

How much is the rent? I want to move in with you guys.

i love you guys so much. i find your videos enjoyable and hilarious. and i seem to learn something new in each video. I'm a adopted asian and wish i new more about my culture. growing up i never wanted to be asian. i was adopted into a italian family. but I'm very grateful for your videos and now that I'm older I'm learning to embrace my asianess more and more. :)

my friend and I just had hot pot for lunch. He's had it before at his house and while at a friend's house, but I've never had it before. Not only did I find the food delicious, and the style really fun... I really like what this video was saying about friends and community... I'm impressed with this dish.

Fun video guys, but I somewhat disagree with your summary of order-of-cooking food items. Generally, you should cook meats first -- it lends more flavor to your soups while veggies (especially the leafy kinds like spinach and watercress) and tofu (especially deep-fried) tend to soak up all the oils from the soup (which reduces the flavor intensity of the broths, something you don't want to happen too quickly -- remember, all restaurants will do is just add more WATER to your pots if they see the volume get low!). In addition, more meats at the beginning ensure you're getting good value for your meal; last time I checked, most people don't go to hot pot for all-you-can-eat veggies. You can also put in starchier veggies (e.g., potatoes), hard root veggies (e.g., daikon and lotus roots), and mushrooms (for flavor) at this time. After most of the meats are eaten, then you can start putting in leafy veggies and tofu. Traditionally, most people finish the meal with some noodles and the soup (which is just FANTASTIC at the end since it's been cooking all the meats and veggies!). However, the caveat for Cantonese hot pot is that this meal is very acidic (especially the spicy broths!) and is relatively high in sodium (because of the seasonings in the broths and sauces) (which can lead to hypertension, a genuine health concern in our culture...)....

first invitation to a hot pot with my neighbors. Taiwanese - yall got me in the know, thanks

obssesed with Andrews super asian face at 4:06 lol is creepy that I keep replaying to see it? hahahaha

Go to boiling point it's similar but good

The excitement and dancing they did in the beginning is the same exact faces I make. I love hot pot lol

Dont dump all finely sliced beef, and lamb all at once, it becomes tough real fast. Trick is to use your chopstick and pic a slice of meat and put it in the broth and let it stay there for 30 seconds and you eat. This way the meat stays tender and flavorful. But dont do this with chicken or pork, you might get sick. They need to be cooked thoroughly. We always have hotpot almost 2x a month here in the philippines, eat all you can

The Malaysian style hot pot is called steam boat. The main difference is our dipping sauce consist of fresh cut chillies, garlic and sambal. YumMalaysia!!

do another type of hot pot when riche is there

why didn't he put on his extra shirt earlier? xD

Such a fun and HELPFUL video! I don't turn my chopsticks around before handling the raw meat; I just carefully move a piece of meat to the pot then dip the tips of my chopsticks in the boiling broth for a few seconds to "sterilize"

I really enjoy these food 101 videos, I've eaten these kind of foods for years and could never recall the name or ingredients. Keep up the good work.

I am Mexican American and I love hot pot! My friend Ally cooked it for me once and I was obsessed! I am making some today for dinner on this cold spring day.

you guys are addicting! i found one of your videos and i was hooked right away. ive been watching one video after the other for around 4-5 hours now:b

Husband showed me this video. Loved it. Immediately subscribed. You guys are great

This was so enjoyable to watch! Educational and entertaining!

Thank you for this ! I went to a hot pot spot today and had no clue what I was doing , now I’m ready for next time

you guys should talk about the difference btwn cantonese and mandarin. not language wise, but culture.

When me and my family has hot pot we mix the egg with vermicelli noodles or meat together then put them into the hot pot. At the end of our session we also pour our egg all over the hot pot soup that has all of the cooked stuff in it. Hot Pot is so lovely and it does bring people together.

I love mongolian hot pot. Its soo good. Theres a place here in Ottawa, Canada where its an all you can eat, but you have to get up and get the ingredients aside from the lamb and beef lol my favourite, quail eggs and baby squid and octopus

OMgoodness! these guys cracked me up! I'll definitely watch more of their vids.

hey y'all know i love these east/southeast asian cuisine videos, but how 'bout you guys change it up and try south asian food? definitely try some pakistani restaurants if there are any good ones around your area!

I'm glad to know eating hotpot is a messy affair for everyone. I went to one yesterday and felt embarrassed trying to eat without spilling any drops, but it was no use. Messy eating, but *so* worth it

You guys know what im about to suggest right!? Its time for them to eat some xiaolongbao. Din tai fung where u at!

I'm a white Scot in Glasgow - I went for a hotpot last night, really good but I wish I'd watched you first.

We french people call it fondue, lol. Too bad Hollywood and America is still not ready for Asians in the entertainment business, because you guys should have a tv show.

That looks delicious. This is something you eat with family and friends; it’s better than eating by yourself. I’ve ate hot pot with my family and relatives and it’s so much fun . The arguing and loud talks are just hilarious

Ok I'm a non-asian but I f*cking love these guys they are hilarious.

Hi Fung Brothers! Pls do a vid on the Top 5 Asian Fried Noodles :) Here are some suggestions: 1. Phad Thai 2. Japchae 3. Hong Kong noodles 4. Hokkien noodles (not sure if you guys get that over there) 5. Char Kway Teow (not sure if you guys get that too)

Thanks for this... Most embarrassing resteraunt moment...going for Hot Pot in Flushing NY by accident just because at 3pm friend thought it looked busier than the Korean place and had a cute sign... Then not knowing what the hell to do while texting Chinese friend, and StILL messing it up with not ordering enough food, putting sauces directly in the pot and having a silent war w/ the waitress over the table being on or not (my friend didn't like the smoke in her face when she was done)... >< will have to go back and try it again... Just not at THAT one...

My local hot pot spot was playing this video on the tv 😂😂😂 yall made it

man, this is the only downside to living out in the country. No Hot pots and no good asian food. Man mega bummer. This made my mouth water and no way to satisfy my cravings.

Wait a minute, do we dip the same 🥢 we put in our mouth into the broth or do we use a separate stick to pull all out ?

Hey, can you guys make an Indian food video? That would be so cool!

my go to sauce: sesame oil, satay（沙茶） sauce, a little hot pepper flakes, coriander and a dash of Chinese vinegar!

Richie said he wants his sauce simple, it was toooootaly simple

Laughed my ass off at "Token White Guy" lol

Korean BBQ!!!!!

I do that same thing with the egg on my rice. Also, the Salmonella is not a problem as long as your eggs come from a reputable farm.

holly god,watching you guys food channel makes me so hungry. Looks so tasty. God!

Do you. . . . Like. . . . .cook your items in a certain order? I always did my potatoes and root veggies first bc they take so long to cook and then the thin sliced meat I'd just swish it around last minute bc I always worry it would overcook and get tough and chewy.

This looks like so much fun! Looks yummy too! I might have to invest in buying a set like this.

My Chinese teacher is taking us out today! She's gonna take us out to Haidilao later.

When they started rapping , I clicked subscribe 😂

So hot pot is just a salad bar, but for soup. So anything can be a hot pot. I can make a chicken broth and veggie broth, or a western tex Mex style chili base with a creamy light broth. And then add side dishes and extra seasoning. Sour cream, a few cheeses, some crackers, filled noodles, dumplings of course, etc. This would be cool to do.

Your food videos are the best!!! Please do cooking videos! It would be cool to see what/how you guys cook!!! :)

I know my comments get lost in the fold of meaningless opinions, but i felt compelled to praise this educational and well compiled and edited video. I thought the funny side jokes were entertaining and engaging, but the close at around 6:30 where you explain the nostalgic feeling of family brings the whole meaning full circle. Thanks for the education and well thought out production

Korean BBQ?

This was super fun to watch! I’ve been watching hot pot videos a lot on RU-vid and now I want to make it. Great video, guys!

Do a Vietnamese food video. Like rice and BBQ pork or some other things. Richie might be familiar with that.

there's also like a hot pot like the lamb thing where you just put the meat in for like a few second and you can eat it theres also a Taiwanese hot pot which is a mini hot pot pretty convenient if you wanna enjoy the food yourself

Do sushi 101!!!!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, shabu-shabu is basically Japanese for Chinese hotpot, and the actual traditional Japanese hotpot would usually be the nabemono.

Let a Native American brotha join ya for this hot pot meal!!!! Never tried

I really love your videos,especially videos talk about Asian foods and snacks. Andrew seems very excited about what he gonna to eat, he is so focusing on putting those ingredients to the pot from 4:20 hahahah that's cute. Hot pot is so important in Asian culture !!

Hot Pot and Beers! Seriously yummy!

Any all you can eat HOT POT or Shabu Shabu around Westminster and Huntington Beach?

I WANT HOT POT NOW. My Chinese friends introduced me and I'm a fucking addict. People who don't hang out with other races/ethnicities. Know what you're missing out on? (Aside from, well being a good human being and experienced in life) BOMB ASS FOOD.

"We just chillin' out here @da HotPot Spot, got da neutral and spicy....HotPot BROTH!!!!" AYYYYYEEEEE!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

DAH BEEN LOU! (Cantonese)

I LOVE YOU GUYS! AWESOME ⚜

Curiosity strikes: does the camera guy eat with you guys? In between takes? After he films :(

You guys should do either dumplings (like shrimp dumplings, xiao long bao, etc.) or bao zi (like man tou, cha shao bao, etc.) Wow now I want some... darn.

Thai hot pot is da best !!

Hello, i'm about to go try Hot Pot tomorrow. I have a question please: I cannot figure out, how you eat - whether you should a) add all the stuff to soup base (first meats, then veggies, etc.) and consume as a SOUP once ready, OR b) dip the meats and other things into boiling soup for 30-40sec and then eat piece by piece with sauce?? Or Both?? I realize I may be overthinking this, but it's really confusing concept to me, lol. I must be use to a "singular" meal type of thing (like a hotdog), where you just eat, and you're done. :D

Vietnamese Spring Rolls 101?

In Hong Kong I didn't get the dual pot my host (airbnb) told me about it and got me lamb, chicken, beef, fish ball, tofu, greens, steamed greens and the sauces! I paid about $300 HK or about $40 for my part so it was worth it!

You guys are so edutaining. I should've watched this before trying my first hot pot joint tonight. That's right, I just popped my hot pot cherry.

Squids, beef, shrimps, water crests (the best) other green vegetables, noodles-the best hot pot ever

You guys used to live in Washington right? Have you ever been the the hotpot restaurant called Boiling Point in Bellevue? If ya'll are ever up here, you have to try it if you haven't already!! Sooo good!

LAO FOOD PLEASE!

"I like to keep my sauce a little more basic" Proceeds to mix 5 different sauces and adds a garnish

you guys eat a LOT lol

i lol'd at the kanye "huh???" yes i am easily amused....

You should do Filipino food!

My family and I usually eat hotpot during winter month coz it pretty cold during the winter month in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

we always put the veggies in last... not first o.o

Perth, West Australia is in the midst of winter and it is a cold, wet and windy day. My sisters and I are going for a hot pot tonight, Yummy cannot wait to dig in. My sister initially said, NO, we are not going out tonight coz, heaven is going to spit rain and it is going to be freezing! and I replied more reason to have hot pot sister.

I want to try hot pot :( that looks so good to eat on a chilly winter day :3

So how to do you eat/drink the broth? So you don’t eat it like soup in soup bowls?

*Stuffs mouth with hot pot* Tao: Hot pot, indeed. Any EXO-L's watching? Edit: EXO showtime reference XD

Watching from the Philippines. I love Chinese hotpot. 🇵🇭😊❤

raindrop, hot pot
