General Japanese term for one-pot dishes cooked at the table, including sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. 火鍋 specifically refers to the Chinese style with a spicy or divided broth.
Japanese dish where thinly sliced meat is swished in a mild broth. 火鍋 uses a richer, often spicy broth and a wider variety of ingredients cooked together.
Borrowed from Chinese 火鍋 (huǒguō), literally 'fire pot'. The reading ホーコー reflects a Japanese approximation of the Chinese pronunciation, while フゥオグゥオ is a more direct imitation.
