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! ☺️
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😊

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing ☺️ if you make this hot pot for her, she will absolutely be so happy!!!! 😁

I am so thrilled to came across your channel. I love Sizhuan cuisine and always wanted to learn the cookings
So glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy 😊
Spicy af
I’m so excited to make this 😍
Great recipe and easy to follow. Thank you so much.
Thank you😊 Glad you enjoyed it!
😍😍I LOVE THIS STUFF.😍😍 Thanks a lot for the recipe.
So glad it’s helpful to you 😊
Tried this and it was literally the spiciest thing I’ve ever eaten good lord 😂

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 '-')?
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 :)
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 😇
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
Can we use mutton fat or port fat oil instead of beef

Love the idea!!! What’s your preferred oil? ☺️
@@YiSichuanKitchen lard/ beef tallow or olive oil are fine. Thank you 😊
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!
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! ☺️
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
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!
🥹
How much water/broth should i add to one cube?
As much as you fill up 80% of the hot pot you are using!
Does this have to be done in a wok?
It doesn’t! Any large pot should work!
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 ❤️
Hi, can you make Mala Sichhun source for stir-fry please???
Yes 🙌😋
If we dont use wine is it ok?
Yes totally ok! Soak the spices with some water, pat dry before adding to the sauce!
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 ☺️
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!
