Method
Start the broth
SimmerPour the chicken stock into a wide pot or an electric hot pot set in the middle of the table. Add the sliced ginger, smashed garlic, spring onion lengths and whole dried chilli, then bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes so the aromatics infuse.

Prep the platter
PrepWhile the broth simmers, arrange the thinly sliced beef, prawns, cubed tofu, chopped wombok, bok choy, sliced shiitake, enoki and corn rounds on platters so everyone can reach them.

Ready the noodles
BoilBring a separate saucepan of water to the boil, cook the egg noodles for 1 minute less than the packet says so they stay springy, drain and pile into a bowl to add to the pot near the end.

Cook's noteThis is the treat night — set it in the middle of the table and let everyone cook their own. Keep protein and noodles separable so plates can differ.
