Most Canadians eat beef in the form of hamburger, roast or steak. Chinese consumers prefer to eat it in a hot pot, which is a large pot filled with simmering stock.

The beef is cut into thin slices, and diners at a restaurant or guests at a dinner party dip a slice of meat into the hot pot and cook it at the table.

The hot pot is more popular in China’s northern region in winter, but there are thousands of hot pot restaurants throughout the country.
