Early Look: How - and why - you should make hotpot at home
🕑 Added 2020-11-15 07:18:46 +0000 UTCJust finished editing this guy up :) Starting to get to be hotpot season, hope this one can be a bit of help! We made the executive decision to not to cover how to make the spicy Sichuan hotpot base - which was heavily requested - simply because it's super annoying to make and other sources (e.g. Wang Gang and ChinaSichuanFood) have done a good job covering it already.
Instead, we wanted to focus on the general culture of hotpot and why you should be making it at home. We covered (1) how to organize a hotpot using a store-bought base (2) how to make a simple pork-bone base if you felt like making your own (3) how to use that pork bone base to make more complicated hotpots, which we cover with Guiyang-style 'pickled greens and beans' hotpot.
