A mix of tender slices of meat, springy noodles and succulent mushrooms simmering in a fragrant pot of rich broth. That is what makes a hotpot or steamboat a delicious must-have for Chinese New Year gatherings.

Easier to prepare than a typical Chinese dinner of multiple dishes, steamboats also cater to health-conscious Singaporeans - as long as you opt for a guilt-free soup base.

A good soup base is vital. Generally, one can spend hours making a stock from scratch using bones or vegetables.

Thankfully, there are healthy broths readily available, and Australia's Own Organic stocks are among these.

Made with natural ingredients, the stocks are endorsed by the Australian Certified Organic programme, which supports organic industry farmers, operators, producers, processors and traders.

The stocks are gluten-free and not genetically modified, and they come in three main styles - beef, chicken and vegetable - all of them with at least 20 per cent less salt than other stocks.
