To prepare this hotpot dinner, simply remove the outer packaging. You can heat it in the oven or microwave, following the specific instructions on the product. For oven heating, place it in a preheated oven until it is piping hot throughout. If microwaving, ensure it is heated evenly. Once heated, serve directly from the dish. It is designed to be a complete meal, requiring no additional preparation or side dishes, though you can add a side salad if desired.
