Best 3 Imperial Fondue Recipes
Imperial fondue is believed to have originated from the Chinese hot pot and was introduced to Switzerland by Chinese students in the 1960s. Imperial fondue is the pricier cousin of the classic cheese fondue. Instead of using cheese, it uses a deeply flavorful broth made with fragrant spices and a variety of premium meat and seafood, which are then cooked in the broth at the table. The cooking time is swift, making it a great option for a quick and easy meal. If you are looking to amp up your dinner party with a delicious and unique dish, then imperial fondue is an absolute must-try.

IMPERIAL FONDUE
Depending on the country of origin, this recipe is known by a variety of names, including "Steamboat", Chinese Fondue, Shabu-Shabu and Yosenabe. It makes for wonderful communal dining on a cold winter's night. The idea is to have a pot of simmering, seasoned broth at the table, into which fresh ingredients, including meat, seafood, tofu and vegetables, are dipped by each guest. Once cooked, the food is then dipped into a sauce of choice. Provide two sets of chopsticks per guest, one pair for dipping the ingredients into the broth, the other pair for dipping the cooked items into the sauces and for eating. You can, alternatively, provide each guest with a small wire mesh for dipping the food into the broth to cook. Adjust the type and amount of ingredients to suit your taste. Some other ideas include thinly sliced beef, fish balls, scallops, meat balls, chicken livers, squid, and broccoli. Serve with your choice of dipping sauces (see recipe for Imperial Fondue Dipping Sauces), for example, Chinese Mustard, Wasabi , Ginger Soy, Sesame Soy, Miso, Peanut, and Sweet & Sour, or use commercial brands of sauces. For cooking time, allow at least two hours for eating and conversation!
