The Chinese New Year is a very important date in the culture of the Middle Kingdom.
During this transition to the new year, the Chinese get together as a family to prepare traditional dishes that will bring joy and prosperity.
The celebratory dish, the
hot pot
, more commonly known as Chinese fondue, is never forgotten on the table.
This meat and goji berry broth is traditionally served in a pot.
Each guest marinates pieces of meat, seafood or vegetables in it.
But this dinner would not be complete without the presence of noodles on the plate.
