Sinseollo[2] (신선로; 神仙爐) or royal hot pot[2] is an elaborate dish consisting of meatballs, small and round jeonyueo (전유어), mushrooms, and vegetables cooked in a rich broth in Korean royal court cuisine.
[4] Sinseollo is a composite word of sinseon (신선; 神仙), "Taoist immortal spirit" and ro (로; 爐), brazier.
Jeong Hee-ryang (정희량), a scholar in the court of Joseon Dynasty's King Yeonsan, turned to a hermit-like life in the mountains after being exiled and disillusioned from politics.
[6][7] Although the origin of the dish was based on vegetables, meat and fish were added in later years.
[6] Up to 25 ingredients may be used in making the dish, such as beef, pork, chicken, pheasant, fish, abalone, sea cucumbers, and various vegetables.
