(Sin Sul Lo)

In Korea, this version of the famous steamboat is served on special occasions. All the food is arranged in the pot before it is brought to the table to finish cooking. It is also sometimes served in individual pots with coals in the central chimney to keep the soup simmering throughout the meat.
