Thai, Malaysian, Chinese, Japanese, pretty much all southern asian cultures make better food than we do, because they grew up in jungles with food everywhere. All they had to do was learn how to combine it. We have to store, salt, cure, confeit, bury shit in the ground while it rots(Thanks Sweden) and generally pick shit off the ground.

Their food is better than ours, period. Grow up.

If Thailand had Roman organization, they'd be USA x 10. We'd be on Mars. I know you morons don't study cultures for shit, but you really should.

wow what a hypothetically great culture there

>>13115241
You should hypothetically think more about human development.

Throw everything you think would be good in a stew, paella, or gumbo in plus a turtle.

Lmao, nigger they never invented soap because they could never spare the fat. Food surplus is part of western culture.

And you still eat Pad Thai. I know you're human garbage but don't tell everyone else.

How to hot pot

You know fat is also difficult to digest without cooking, probably as an antipredation deterrent. That stuff we refine out of it for candles and soap, inedible on its own and tho not technically poison, it can screw with you to swallow a big ol chunk o glycerin. Not all fats have it either btw, mostly just a use for the waxy fat surrounding the kidneys.

You need a source of heat, a pan capable of holding about 4” of broth, vegetables, and raw meat of some sort sliced thin.

Because the broth takes on flavor as you cook, your broth can be simple. A basic Jap dashi is basically seaweed, anchovy, and mushroom. Yes faggots will reeee about bonito or how the anchovies should be dried, or how seaweed must be kelp, but fuck them all. It all works fine.

So, make a broth, then strain it. This can be done well ahead of time. Season it just a bit less than you like because it will concentrate.

Get a fuck ton of veggies and whatever meats you have sliced nice and thin. Put them all out on plates spread out. Boil thebroth, then reduce to a low simmer. Put things in; when they’re cooked, fish them out and eat.

In general, I like a wave of mushrooms first because they're a nice appetizer and enrich the broth. Get some onions going too, maybe some shallots and green onions. Take your fucking time, it’s not a race, taste the broth and steer it. Eventually the broth will be so good you could eat/drink it on its own, then you add meat. Cook it to how you like it by swooshing it around with your chopsticks without letting it go, then dipping it in any sauce you have (a very watered down vinegar with a splash of soy is great, experiment), then in your piehole. Or, on top of rice, then the chunk of rice underneath + meat into your /ck/ hole.

Hopefully this provides the basics, let me know if there are any questions.
