- Today I'm tasting Yumei's Huo Guo Mao Cai spicy hot pot that uses MRE technology to self-heat a meal of spicy broth and vegetarian ingredients including noodles, lotus root, wood ear fungus, and bamboo shoots. 😋 Big thanks to Alexus for sending this to me to make this video possible. 🙏

The single most impressive thing in this video is the fact that Emmy can eat slurpy red oily sauce and NOT get any on her white shirt.
IKR!
I wanna try this stuff so bad!!!! Its perfectly hotpot weather right now!
You can find them on Amazon!
@@sijoonjang3997 not the one that emmy ate tho
It’s disgusting
They sell them on Yamibuy. the ones on amazon are usually expired and super expensive
@fuck face lol that’s how it was for me too, the usual site a always got Asian snacks never update and sold out of the hot pots as soon as i wanted one, so I had to find a new site. Also just look up hot pot instead of instant hot pot.
Emmy! You should do the omurice for the egg series :)
YES!!!!!
Angela, I need healing.
I’d love to see her do that!
YES!! The dandelion version especially!!!
035G OGMOFO u good 👀👀👀
I think the "water chestnuts" were probably Chinese yam. Some people are saying daikon, but that tends to get soft when cooked. Chinese yam gets soft eventually but the texture if you cook it briefly is like you said, partway between water chestnut and potato texture. The flavor is very subtly sweet but mostly it takes on flavors if it's boiled in something. I love it!
Your voice is so soft and cute.
The voice that could calm someone who has hostages
@@applesong01 LOL yes!
I know right, Emmy reminds me of a cute little teddy bear.
Right?! I just discovered her channel and her voice is so soothing.
Interesting! Regarding your remarks about not consuming the oil: during the two years I spent in China, I ate hot pot often. But when I was in Chengdu and in Chongqing, I had hot pot that had a pure oil soup base. At the restaurants, they brought out these orange bricks which I quickly realized were cold rendered fat infused with seasoning. They melted in the pots and THAT WAS THE SOUP BASE. Wish we could get that here in the states. It was so good.
You could get it in toronto in canada. Not the states but closer than china 🤣
@@LovePinku6 Which restaurant?
@@rickelroyce1917 chongqing laojiumen, the fat is shapped into adorable characters but it's a little pricer than other hot pot places but its ayce and pretty yummy imo
That does sound good.
@@LovePinku6 Thank-you so much. I'll check it out. Have a great weekend!
Love you Emmy! Also, if she finds it spicy enough, it’s probably volcanic! But looks really delicious (apart from the plastic).
nah it is not as spicy as Korean spicy chicken ramen
Maksim Li found you again
Don think it will spicy enough for me
I'm still swimming in ice packs from my short run of hellofresh boxes. Too much waste and produce that was the bottom of the barrel. Anyone want to build an igloo?
Lol ikr! It said to throw the ice packs away but i kept them. And the corn on the cob that was in one of my bags was spoiled. And my brioche buns were already opened so they were hard as rocks. I couldn't get a refund because they only credit in food and i wasnt going to order again soooo....there's that.
Wow! I'm sorry that happened to you. I really appreciate your comments though. I won't be using this service. They have a new app for doctors who offer virtual check-ups to patients. Sometimes doctors misdiagnose patients when they get a physical or run test, at the physicians office. I can't imagine how challenging it will be doing this over an app. I don't think apps and deliveries will take over the world like many people predicted. It's just not practical. We will always have to sacrifice something just to live, and even more to live comfortably. Sure, you can stay home and have your food delivered. But the quality of the food will be subpar, you won't know what it's composed of, and the waste produced is even greater. I prefer brick and motar for sure.
I’ve been thinking about getting one of those food services, but I don’t want to now. You’re definitely not the first to give them a bad review.
Maybe what you thought was water chestnut was actually daikon?
White radish isn't exactly starchy. According to the ingredient on the website it should be potato.
Cooked daikon would be translucent, soft, and sweet. But nice guess based on the appearance!
daikon wouldnt look or sound like that after cooking, its most likely potato (common chinese hot pot ingredient)
I’m thinking it might be taro
It’s probably potato slices, looked to me like rice flour cakes that you put in hotpot but she said it was slightly crunchy, not chewy
Emmy is the queen of food channels.
Have you seen HYUNEE EATS or SAS-ASMR??
@@syedakinzaasif no i havent. I will check it out
Yess you should :)
snow rite YES! Hands down the queen! 👸🏻
Emmy 4:30 : "Based on what this looks like... and based on what this smells like, it's going to be"
Me: "Poo."
Emmy: "Spicy"
Me: "Oh."
Same here.. lol..
*giggles*
That’s black bean chili paste, a common Chinese cooking ingredient
🤣🤣🤣
Lol same
Those chopsticks remind me of that cheesy pool table that all of us got at Christmas. You know the ones where you have to put the pool sticks together exactly like you just did those chopsticks. So I would call those Christmas chopsticks!
I used to get those too xD
I mean I just woke up from my nap but I guess its time to go back to sleep¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wish these existed here
this oughta snap you back into reality
[drops butt over your face]
*BRRRRRRUUUMMMMMMM KEEKEEKEEKEE PLORG PLORG*
@@illfaptothis333 wtf
Actually some Chinese hotpot soup is eaten. The spicy oily kind isn't, as you said, but the ones based on stock without the oil and the hot spices can be eaten in a bowl at the end of the meal.
She said that in the video.
Oh damn I just drink both kinds in a way
*EMMY PLEASE TASTE TEST MEXICAN POZOLE!*
💜💜💜💜 yes!! But pork pozole, not chicken!
YESSSSS. Red pork pozole only. lol I hate the chicken and green pozole.
@@TheLiteralLatest same! 🤣
And tamarind water!
Or Menudo!

Hi emmy. I like to add the soup base ingredients first and then add the solid ingredients later. I think that helps infuse the flavor of the soup base into the noodles and the dried veggies much better.
Jim Ferguson I always do that with my ramen too. People acted shocked when they see me cook it this way.
Emmy! I Never get tired of your videos, in fact, I LOVE THEM! And i love you. Keep going, you always do a flawless job.
Love from Argentina
Thank you,🇦🇷!
Your my favorite... so beautiful and polite. Something spectacular indeed. ❤❤❤😀
Jonathon Rotti her husband is on his way haunting you
I like spicy food but I think you handle it very well...I would be 🤒🔥🔥🔥
Congrats on the new sponsor!
I absolutely loooove watching all of your videos🖤🖤🖤 I get so excited when I get my notifications
Same here 😂
Emmy! I recently had a friend on Facebook post that she eats American cheese melted on apple pie and I thought that was super strange. Not sure how this video idea would work out as an end result, but I’d be curious your thoughts on that flavor combo. And with that, it would be very interesting to hear the response from your audience like their strange food combos they do or have grown up on. I can’t think of anything on my end of things. But that apple pie and American cheese has been on my mind since I saw it earlier this week and it seems like something you would try or give a decent review of haha. :)
People have been doing that for years in some places. I heard that it might have been inspired by the British. Isn't it fascinating how food has its own culture?
MrDiscopunkk It really is! It’s probably not as strange as I initially found it to be. But it’s amazing how everyone grows up on different food combinations and maybe where things stem from. And like I said, it’s probably not strange, but it seemed like an interesting series Emmy would to a fantastic job with that also includes her audience. Not that she doesn’t already. She’s very inclusive of her audience. But just her reach would be able to explore all over the country and of course world. :D
@@mchavarria91 I thought it was a weird combo when I first saw it many years ago LOL But I can't judge cause I eat my fruit pies in a slightly odd way.
Totally agree with everything you said. I think something like that would absolutely be a great fit for Emmy.
MrDiscopunkk I’m British born & raised and I can say with absolute certainty that is NOT any kind of British ‘thing’
@@TraceUK I never said it was. I said it *might have been inspired by the British* because I've read that in the 17th or 18th century British people would pour like a custard sauce or similar dairy based product on their pie. According to some theories that evolved into cheddar (then American cheese) being used when they came here.
Also it *is* similar to the Wensleydale Apple Pie that those in Yorkshire seem to be fond of. Doesn't the saying go, "An apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze"?
Crunch crunch crunch crunch. So satisfying.
Looked at Amazon and it was $25 just for one. I'll just enjoy Emmy's experience.
Emmy plz make a giant spaghetti stuffed meatball🍝😁
Have you ever had "porcupine balls"? My family used to eat them every now and then. They are just meatballs mixed with cooked rice. They are so good :)
Also me and my bf were at Costco and saw these meatballs with thin rice noodles mixed in. They were Chinese inspired I think. They looked so good. No samples though
Emmy's voice is so calming, listening to her talking relax my mind
I remember last year, taking this to my warehouse job, me and my close friends couldn't finish the meal. And when cooking the meal, every single co worker was looking at me like if I had a meth lab.
I think my favourite thing about this episode was hearing how crunchy everything was. It’s refreshing when instant food still has texture and bite to it.
ASMR Approved ✔️
I got this exact same pot from my local Asian supermarket, I...was expecting just just fancy instant noodles that I didn’t need a kettle for....
It was disaster! Haha, At first I forgot to put water in the soup part, but I also had NO idea how hot it’d get, and it MELTED the desk I had it sat on! I eventually managed to get some water into the food bIt but it was so hot it spat oily water all over our work PC keyboard and and then when it finally settled down, I put ALL of that chilli in with it because I didn’t know and then my weedy whiteboi tongue COULD NOT DEAL and I couldn’t even swallow the stuff 😂😂 so I had a cucumber sandwich instead.
Growning up in Hawaii every restaurant would have those faux ivory plastic chopsticks and I could never pick up anything. I would always ask for wooden chopsticks.
I just love how Emmy always explaining everything, taste, texture, and all, thoroughly.
Too bad there's so much plastic in these things. I know you can recycle it, but mostly it ends up in landfills.
I love that you do a little dance when you like something because I always dance when I eat delicious food. I can't help it
I just your videos. Next time I go to the Asian markets, I'm going to look for these. Plus is they're vegan because I am. I would LOVE it if you would share more recipes. Family recipes or ones from your time in Japan. I love cooking Asian foods, and to me authenticity matters.
Hi Emmy! My little sis and I watch your videos all the time!
The "water chestnut" is definitely yam.
The whole "wood ear mushroom" thing kept bugging me, so I went back to the old video and looked at the characters. Do you call them that in the US?
After looking at the characters, I was like *smacks hands to forehead* it's Mu'er 木耳! In Germany we actually call them by their Chinese name! On ingredient lists it will say Mu-Err-mushroom xD
I got a very similar box. It lit my mouth on FIRE.
hi I had an apifany recycle the container into a planter
“Puffy cheeks.” :P
Hey! Try eating chitterlings.
Just watched your kombucha video. I've recently gotten into kombucha. I doubt if I could make it though. 👏👏👍
My brother and I tried some of the kombucha drinks...one was a mango flavor and the other was berry. But, we couldn't get into it. I guess it's an acquired taste?
*Puffy cheeks.*
I found the Samyang hot and hot x2 noodles at the 99 cent store! SCORE!
I love the way she speaks. It's easy to listen. Plus, her grammar is so on point!
Darn. Wish it wasn't so spicy before you add spice! Lol. I have some grandkids who would eat that stuff up.....only 2 are NOT veg lovers.🤔Thanks Emmy! I adored that packaging BTW. So cute and colorful!🐝👻🎃😈💀🕸👽👹
Back at it again with that sliced up loofah huh Emmy?
Your voice is so soothing that i could totally take a nap during your videos. Wish your would make a homemade stroopwafel.
Did you find this salty at all? I ordered a few of these and every one I have tried has that numbing salty spicy taste. It was just too salty for me and I was so disappointed
Emmys ASMR would be everything!!! Especially with her calming voice and funny facial expressions haha
Hi emmy, I don't like spicy but my son loved and worked in Japan for 4 yrs. And he loved it. So I'm thinking he would like this. Where would I find these so I could get them for him?? Thanks emmy love your vlogs and started watching the bees. So interesting. Thanks again.
Emmy I love your energy :D you are such a positive person
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Emmy, I don't think those noodles are sweet potato, I think they might be Konjac noodles, which often gets incorrectly translated as konjac yam. I'm not positive, because I think Konjac noodles are usually translucent.
Is this a re-upload? I feel like I watched this like a month ago.
No, it's another one. She mentioned that and linked the first one.
I've been avoiding this video for 2 weeks because I thought that too. Recently I realized it wasn't and got confirmed in the video. Now I want to try an instant hot pot like this 😌
Really should’ve watched this before making it. I am eating it right now and I threw all the spices and oil in, yea all of it. And well I am kind of dying. My lips are tingling like crazy. I have never experienced anything like this. I was eating radish kimchi to help with the spice, hoping it would pair nicely. Well.. the kimchi just tastes sour, that’s it
This hotpot was awful. It was disgusting. You have to have the hunger and desperation of a lone wolf during zombie apocalypse to even eat two bites of this. The smell lingered like Jason from Friday the 13th. I can't say enough bad things about this product.
Do you ever use a hot air fryer ?
I got one a fee months ago.
I love naked fried chicken wings, 28 minutes total turning once.
I very very lightly spray olive oil so I get the crisp but not oil or grease.
I noticed you end up with about 1/3 cup of grease out of 8 full wings.

Just checked the prices on these instant hot pot meals on Amazon and the run from $35.00 to $63.00 FOR ONE! I prefer to go to my local Chinese restaurant and pay only half that amount for fresh hot pots.
Thank you for this information and charismatic, moral raising video. Well done Emmy. 🇺🇲🇮🇪😎👏💚🧡💜❤💙😇
I don't recommend people who are not familiar with Asian food to buy this. A customer returned this and say it smells funny. But that's just the smell of bamboo shoots...
So please don't bother buying something you're not gona like and waste them. Btw the company claims the plastic is PP5 and heat safe. And that the heat conducts through water.
So the heat source does not come in direct contact to the food container (the upper level).
I wish they made these for weak people who can’t hold their spice but still want that cronch
Also LMAO THE FACE AT THE END
Those are potato slices, not water chestnuts. The Chinese like their potatoes sliced or sometimes julienned ... When I lived in China, they commonly stir-fry them but also use them in hot-pots or in 麻辣香锅。
holy moley it is 41$ for a single bowl of ramen.
I found it for only 6,49€ (about 7$) in an asian supermarket based in germany today. I am super excited!
Love you Emmy ❤️
its works but taste so spicy, I didn't like the way it was cooked and feel a bit scared of eating plastic. So much waste in one package. Don't buy recommendation for me.
I can't help but focus on how wasteful these types of products are :/ None of that plastic, aside from the orange box itself, is recyclable.
Its so gross when any meal that's savory has all spice, such as cinnamon an nutmeg. Awful tasting. Its to confusing on the pallet. U must have a very tolerable taste. Its hard to tell what u eat if its something alot of us can handle cuz u like alot more things than normal. 🤔🤔🤗
Where can I find one of these? I live in Arizona and I can’t find them :( not even on Amazon, at a decent price anyways!! How is the site Yami??
Puffy cheeks. You're an awesome person
So are you.
This looks sooo good! If these are available online I want them in bulk!! 😍
I've seen these for sale in some Asian stores. I was looking at them, but since I don't known Chinese, I didn't want to spend money on something that I couldn't figure out the directions. Next time if I see one, I will buy it.
Emmy is love, Emmy is life
I absolutely love your videos but whilst watching this one all I could think was mmmm noodle soup, and are you doing anymore mre as i really enjoy seeing them xx
Every time I get one of these hot pots, it's super sour and unpleasant smelling :/ does anyone have any suggestions on one that I would be more likely to enjoy with my basic flavor palette 🤣
all these food delivery services get real expensive fast. thats why i quit them after 3 deliveries the most. but props to ya'll who can afford it. I like your hot pot meal.
I tried hello fresh and they kept leaving the food outside without letting me know sometimes it was there all day and there were times some food items were missing... the food was good and the customer service was good but I'm probably going to cancel
It would kinda defeat the point, but you can just dump the contents into a bowl in a microwave or on a stove and avoid the heating plastic issue altogether. It sounds delicious, though! I wish I can have it here
How much do they cost? what exactly is that heating product? Some words about environmental impact seems important here.
Mao Cai is typically eaten with coagulated blood cubes, but then again for something instant, you can't really add that.
I looked on Amazon last time. Those things are like 10 bucks a pop. You could get actual food for that price
I look forward to every one of you videos and watch to the very end to see what little tidbit you left for us. I also read the comment because you put so much information in there. Puffy cheeks
Wichcraft!! Or just Science!! Seriously though it looks quite delicious😀
If you rly wanted to you could probably add a bit of cooked meat after heating it if u didn’t want just veggies I suppose
Could the potato/ water chestnut cross be Daikon? My daughter and I eat those frequently instead of potatoes.
Puffy cheeks! 😊
How come you dont do giveaways. Im sure theres plenty of fun stuff that lasts a long time that others wish they could try too. Why not right😄
I read that as "self-hateing". Yeah... I should probably take that up with my therapist.
Puffy cheeks. ❤️❤️❤️
Some body told. E u stack old tires on top of each other and grow potato s in them...space saver..huh .luv you
The scientist that discovered the side effects of BPA about 20 years ago has been doing tests on plastics without BPA's and he has stated that they have the same side effects.
There are plenty of plastics out there that won't offgas til way beyond food heating temperatures. what does the package say?
Did anyone else notice how ironic this video is 😂 she’s eating instant food and sponsored by hellofresh 😂 no hate or anything just thought it was funny
I need to find those packs and buy them to use with wooden or metal steamer for camping if you're in a wild :3
Puffy cheeks
These would be great if you worked in a place without access to a science oven..
This looks like a great product to try. But, at $45.00 each? No, thanks.
If anyone wants to try an instant hot pot they sell some on Yamibuy. It’s not this exact type but they have them for a decent price. Also look up hot pot instead of instant hot pot.
A great thing you can do is pick up some thin sliced deli roast beef that Is made rare. Then put that into the hot pot. It really absorbs the broth taste with the fresher meat and soft texture
Would you consider prepping a hello fresh meal kit. So you can tell us the experience first hand and we can see it in action?
I am from South America and never tasted a hot pot but I always wanted one. I will have to look it up on Amazon.
