We hosted a foreign exchange student from Chongqing many years ago and Sichuan hot pot was her favorite meal. She taught me how to make it but we used a packaged soup base that we added extra ingredients to that she said made it more authentic. I can't wait to make this and share it with her when she comes back to visit next.
Yes it can get spicy. Picking the right peppers is very important, I used not spicy ones called Er Jing Tiao. They contribute more to the flavor than the spicy level! ☺️
aquiring these specifix ingredients ran me close to $80. Also im wondering if or how much water should you add to the base brooth? First time making it n it just aeems super dince. would it be okay to use smaller cubes with hot water to make it last longer?
Hi, do you have a recipe for broad beans paste? As i don't eat rapeseed oil, so it'd be nice do it homemade, if possible 🙂 Or anything that can be used as a substitute? Fermented black beans mixed with chili oil or Gochujang, maybe? Btw, thank you so much for the very yummy recipe😊
I like to store and refrigerate my fats and filter them, I'd say it probably would work. I think pork fat has a different smoke point than beef tallow, but it shouldn't matter for this recipe.

Question please, If I use 2 kg of tallow how many sichuan pepper should I use for this recipe? In case I need only numb tongue feeling '-')?
I love Sacha sauce ❤
It’s the best! ☺️
@@YiSichuanKitchen indeed, I randomly purchased it at one Chinese grocery store and it's really good
Can I use coconut oil? It solidifies or what do you think half coconut oil and half beef T? I just have a lot of coconut oil on hand lol
What can i use to replace shaoxing wine? Can i reuse the ginger coriander?
Correction: beef tallow is much healthier than any vegetable or seed oil. Olive oil is ok but the boiling point is too low. Stick with the classic;)
Agreed!! This hot pot base is just way superior than anything you can buy at the store! 😋🌶️
Could you use chicken fat also?
That’s why they make soap out of tallow
Great vid, I’m just having a hard time finding where to get the spice recipe. Was hoping if you could put some link on where you got it? Tnx
Of course! I added links in the description :)
I love sichuan food! For dry hot pot (mala xiang guo?) do we use this hot pot base too?
Yes you absolutely can!! ☺️
@@YiSichuanKitchen perfect, because I’m a lazy cook :)
@@YiSichuanKitchen i tried it and it was perfect and made the cooking process much faster and easier!
@@Majorjabronihello, may i ask did you use red peppercorns or green peppercorn? I tried with the red one but it did not numb as all

Love the idea!!! What’s your preferred oil? ☺️
@@YiSichuanKitchen lard/ beef tallow or olive oil are fine. Thank you 😊
Should i boil another broth before adding sichuan ?
Add water or your soup stock to the hot pot base before having a hot pot ☺️
Would lard be an acceptable alternative to tallow?
Lard is usually considered too heavy for hot pot! I would stick with tallow or vegetable oil ☺️
How do use the hot pot base, do you just add to boiling water?
Yes or you can add soup stock like bone stock or chicken stock
太强了这都能做！
🥹
So lets say I freeze this. Do I then take one of these blocs and add it to a bone broth?
That block looks too small to be used just as it is.
Yes you can simply add the block to bone broth to have hot pot! ☺️
Does this have to be done in a wok?
It doesn’t! Any large pot should work!
At least mentioned how much beaf tallow qty do we use for 100 gram chillies,😢
How much water/broth should i add to one cube?
As much as you fill up 80% of the hot pot you are using!
How to make fermented bean please
You don’t have to use it if you don’t have it😉 the chilies and spices are most important in this recipe
@@YiSichuanKitchen Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for your recipe. I love it. I don't want to buy hot pot base in the bag because it is too salty and preservative, MSG....
That’s exactly why I make my own now 😇
Can we use mutton fat or port fat oil instead of beef
I like to store and refrigerate my fats and filter them, I'd say it probably would work. I think pork fat has a different smoke point than beef tallow, but it shouldn't matter for this recipe.
But i wanted a vegetarian soup base that isn’t spicy so back to store bought
miso soup is a good option , youll get the umami flavour but less fragrant spices involved
Great idea ☺️
Hi, can you make Mala Sichhun source for stir-fry please???
Yes 🙌😋
instead of wine can we use apple cider vinegar ?
향신료 준비할때 집에있는건 하나도없네
그냥 베이스 사서쓰는게 나을듯
If we dont use wine is it ok?
Yes totally ok! Soak the spices with some water, pat dry before adding to the sauce!
Can i use ghee in place of beef tallow?
maybe in small portions! I haven't tried ghee yet, not sure if the taste will be different :)
Are u indian
Will use palm oil instead of beef tallow.
That's what they'll make in the states but in China it's made from tallow. They just can't ship it to the US I think. You'll like it either way!
The seeds add zero heat. It all comes from the oil in the flesh of the pepper.
