This is probably the easiest dish I’ve ever made. The satisfaction comes with just a little efforts…

Everything you need is just to prepare the meat. The best meat in my opinion is the beef prepared for hot pot. You should see it in your local Asian grocery stores.

All the ingredients are easy to get. Down to earth - nothing special. It’s probably not as perfect as the ones served in the restaurants but it is just so simple to make especially when you are busy working from home.
