    It's time to put the meat slices into the pot, and a little tip comes into play! Turn to low heat, keep the water at a gentle simmer, and use chopsticks to quickly put the meat slices into the pot one by one. Once all the meat slices are in, turn to high heat, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. At this point, the meat slices are tender and smooth, and the soup is delicious.
