Chinese food is undoubtedly one of the most popular cuisines around the world and there are several driving forces behind this popularity. According to “Chinese Soul Food: A Friendly Guide for Homemade Dumplings, Stir-Fries, Soups,” Hsia-Ching Chao talks about that most Chinese foods are pretty much easy to make and they are generally delicious ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"dpqUPv2v","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Chou)","plainCitation":"(Chou)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":616,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/IBolxqVE/items/5NDP643P"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/IBolxqVE/items/5NDP643P"],"itemData":{"id":616,"type":"book","ISBN":"1-63217-123-6","language":"English","number-of-pages":"256","title":"Chinese Soul Food: A Friendly Guide for Homemade Dumplings, Stir-Fries, Soups, and More","URL":"https://b-ok.cc/book/3600466/e3b236","author":[{"family":"Chou","given":"Hsiao-Ching"}],"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2020",5,20]]},"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Chou 2). Also, Thomas Nguyen in the article called “The Development of Chinese Cuisine in the United States” discusses that the huge number of Chinese immigrants around the world also influenced the popularity of their cuisines as they strived to maintain their rich culture which is primarily focused on cuisine among other things ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"kERxlW5m","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Nguyen)","plainCitation":"(Nguyen)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":614,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/IBolxqVE/items/YMUPFW24"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/IBolxqVE/items/YMUPFW24"],"itemData":{"id":614,"type":"post-weblog","language":"en-US","note":"source: scholarblogs.emory.edu","title":"The Development of Chinese Cuisine in the United States","title-short":"Thomas Nguyen","URL":"https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/noodlenarratives/2019/08/10/thomas-nguyen-the-development-of-chinese-cuisine-in-the-united-states/","author":[{"family":"Nguyen","given":"Thomas"}],"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2020",5,20]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Nguyen par. 1). There are so many delicious cuisines in China, why Chinese people like hot pot over other food? It is, however, the love of hot pot that stands out the most among the Chinese people and the reason behind this great love revolves around the ease of preparation, affordability, diversity, the social aspect, and of course its delectability.
