I used to buy the pre-packaged hotpot mix, but not going to do it anymore after seeing your video. Thank you so much! Tried it and my family thoroughly enjoyed it.
ChineseHealthyCook I have a question can you eat the actual soup or you just basically use it to cook the veggies and meats in it? Because I never see anyone eating the soup.
@@coconadrecafe when we have hotpot, we start off by drinking the non spicy broth before we cook anything with it. The non spicy broth is actually healthy for you according to the ingredients she put in.
Dominic Ho thank you, yes that’s how I do it, I just feel awkward because when I look around in a restaurant or watch videos, I never see anyone drinking it. But I always drink it before I start cooking and then at the end when I’m done.
Was in Chengdu and then went to Jiuzhaigou. One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I heard it was hit by an earthquake right after we left. I enjoyed the food in the area very much. It was very spicy but it was delicious. Thank you for posting this. I am an American but my wife is from Shenyang. Wonderful food there as well!
I also really enjoyed this video. I am an English teacher and I think your English is very very good. Pronunciation, all the little local phrases, ex: using the word shortcut, and the food looks amazing, I am in dongguan now, Im going to the store and I will be making this tonight! Thanks for the recipe!! I just wanted to compliment the video and your speaking!
I'm flattered to hear from an English teacher. Thank you so much! Did you make hot pot? Hope it turned out well for you. How can you watch TH-cam in China, through VPN? -Ling
Yes, I made the hot pot last night and I invited my friend over, we could not stop eating and I was very very pleased with the recipe. We had puffy tofu, woodear mushrooms, noodles, chicken, it was incredible.. Yes, vpn, I'm using one called viper vpn, to jump over the great firewall. I would love to try all the Chinese recipes that you have. See you in the next video!!
I love hot pot! I bought all of the ingredients last week. I will be making it today. This is a great video. Thank you for showing us! Can't wait to view more of your videos! I easily spend over $100 when I go out for hot pot. This will be so much cheaper!
@@ChineseHealthyCook it was soooo good!! We made the Sichuan style and I can't believe how easy it was to make. I'm addicted. Thank you for your videos!!
This is a lot of fun! For me, hot pot is just eating and cooking over the stove directly 🤭 this presentation you made is beautiful. It looks like the gorgeous hotpot we have downtown.
I always wondered how to make hotpot base and this looks delicious. I think i have seen most of your videos but this is the first time i remember seeing you actually eat the dish you made. fun!
I bought a table top hot pot last year. I really like it. I found it at a local Asian market. I have done two hot pots (special family dinner every new year) and have learned a lot about what NOT to do and am hoping this year is my chance to shine. I am looking to make my own broth this year as the premade packages I have bought are not cutting it. Thank you for the inspiration. I like your dipping sauce ingredients.
This is the best home hot pot video I have seen! Thank you for posting it is very helpful and I am going to make this next weekend. I have to buy the proper pot first and a table top stove!! Can't wait!
I tried your recipe but my hometown doesn't has bay leaves and spicy bean paste, so I used shadow-fried chilli paste instead and not put the bay leaves in. However the smell of hotpot is so nice and so delicious 😍 thank you
Thank you alots for your recipes,its amazing.I want to cook sichuan hot pot for myself,i don't want to use the instant spices from super market.Its not good.Thank alots .
Just some suggestion, it will be much better if we can see you also instead only your hand. Food always look delicious. Your voice also very soothing. Thanks for the recipe.
Looks fantastic. How long have you used that pot ? Want to make sure it's one that won't leak. Would prefer the "s" divider but straight will probably be what I get. Thanks for the vid.
I learned something new from this video. I did not know that cumin was used in Chinese cooking, but lo and behold (I even Googled it) apparently cumin is utilized in many Sichuan dishes.
ChineseHealthyCook thank you so much for your response.Went to a shabu shabu restaurant not that long ago and seems close to the one you made... I really want to try this at home. 😊
What a nice pot you use for the Hot Pot! I want one like that, where the liquid from one side doesn't leak into the other side, WOW, is that an Asian pot? I've never seen one in Europe or in the US. Where can I get one?
Buy it on Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018WFX1VY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=chc1-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B018WFX1VY&linkId=036d79ec3f7c22bb552b778357e63699
From where do you buy your sichuan peppercorns? I just bought 2kg from a Chinese wholesale dealer for $120 because I couldn't find a single place that I could trust to sell me good peppercorns like the ones I got from Sichuan province!
+Vivian Tristesse I buy from Asian stores. They are pretty good. After you open the package, please make sure to store them in a sealed bag or container to keep the aroma. You may check on Amazon. Thank you! -Ling
@@ChineseHealthyCook when i go to eat hot pot in restaurant. they usually have a sweet type of oil and i always thought it was sesame oil. do you know what it might be? is a oil they almost always have.
still__4twenneCliCC A good question. It depends on how big the rock sugar is. I would say 1 tsp rock sugar is about 1 and 1/2 tsp regular sugar. Chinese cooking is not baking. You can add to your own taste 😊Enjoy! Thank you! -Ling
@@ChineseHealthyCook i forgot all about the sugar lol Its simmering right now and it smell so good. Im Cambodian/Chinese but ive only had this dish once at a restaurant, hope itll taste better tho haha
What you have presented is excellent for a more traditional hot pot. May I humbly request a meat and oil free alternative as well. Living in China for 5 years now and following a whole food plant based regimen, while the available food is indeed great if one eats meat and (LOTS OF) oil, the notion that many have that vegetarian/vegan options are actually commonly available (unless one cooks) is simply a fantasy.
ChineseHealthyCook There is this white broth that I see and I ate at a hot pot. They called it fresh pot and I also had the spicy pot the one your making on the other side. The one I had wasn't clear like chicken stock only. It was white almost milky but I didn't see any bone so I don't think it was bone marrow
I recently had a hot pot in Glasgow and my table was the only westerners there, I found the different meats to be indistinguishable when cooked. I was also surprised to find that no one drank the actual liquid. Why is this?
Mal big If you have duel hot pot, you may drink the soup on the non-spicy side. When cooking, try to track what you put in. Traditionally we hold the meats with chopsticks and dip in the soup so you don’t lose it 😀Thanks! -Ling
This is new to me, and I’m so excited! The possibilities seem endless. Thank you!
I used to buy the pre-packaged hotpot mix, but not going to do it anymore after seeing your video. Thank you so much! Tried it and my family thoroughly enjoyed it.
The hot pot I use is called Yin Yang hot pot, in Chinese 鸳鸯火锅
Please see the links in the message box for the Yin Yang hot pots.

Thanks for this nice video. :)

What do you think about adding beef oil into the hotpot? I grew up eating chengdu hotpot and apparently beef oil is an essential ingredient
Apparently vegetable oil is much healthier but beef oil does add some flavor if you like the taste.

What a work of art. Yum

is that cumin seeds or fennel seeds? I am asking cause your cumin was green in color usually its brown in color! Thanks
