Take a pre-made, frozen hot pot pack out of the freezer. "Give it a good wack" by hitting the frozen pack against a hard surface (e.g., a counter) to break apart the frozen contents.

Place the broken-up frozen hot pot pack ingredients into a cooking pot on a stovetop.

Add boiled bone broth or water to the pot, ensuring the ingredients are covered.

Drizzle soy sauce into the pot, then add one spoonful of chili oil crisp, one piece (or cube) of garlic, and sprinkle in dried anchovies.

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until all ingredients are tender and the beef is cooked through.

Taste the broth and season further as needed by adding white soy sauce.

While the hot pot is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine chopped garlic, chopped scallions, and chopped cilantro.

Add one spoonful of peanut butter to the bowl, pour in rice vinegar, and add one spoonful of chili oil crisp.

Mix all the dipping sauce ingredients thoroughly with a spoon until well combined.

Serve the hot pot hot. Dip cooked hot pot ingredients (meat, vegetables, tofu) into the prepared dipping sauce and enjoy. The broth is also meant to be consumed.
