There are a variety of different hotpot recipes based on region, cuisine, and tradition, and each of those regions tends to have a hotpot dipping sauce that is traditionally paired with their preferred broth. The Taiwanese and Chinese sauce options go well with different types of Chinese and Taiwanese hot pot. Ponzu- and sesame-based sauces pair well with Japanese shabu shabu due to the lighter broth. Since the dipping sauces have overlapping ingredients, you can customize them to your personal preferences!
