The Vietnamese have an understanding of hot pot meals in that if you add more ingredients and simmer them longer, you will have a hot pot meal that is more aromatic and tastier!

  2. For your hot pot, fry brown sugar, chilies, fish sauce, lemongrass, garlic, and tamarind paste. When mixture becomes aromatic and hot, add the chicken stock and simmer for 30 minutes.
