The recipe for the Thai hot pot (Jim jum) in the video is-

For the Meat-
250 grams of meat sliced into roughly 2mm thick pieces (You can use any meat or seafood of your choice. If you are using seafood you do not need to marinade it, but you can if you wish).
3 tbspn oyster sauce
tbspn soy sauce
1 tspn sugar
1 tspn sesame seeds
1 egg

1) Mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar and sesame seeds and marinade the meat for 20 minutes (or longer if you wish).
2) Break the egg over the meat and mix through just prior to cooking.

For the Broth-
1 L water
10 slices daikon (roughly 4mm thick)
2 lemongrass stems, cut into thirds
4 leaves kaffir lime, torn into quarters
5 slices galangal (roughly 2mm thick)
2 shallots, crushed
5 chilies (or as many as is to your taste), crushed
20 leaves Thai sweet basil

2) Add the oyster sauce, fish sauce, salt, lemongrass, kaffir lime, galangal, shallots, chilies, and Thai sweet basil.
