Steps for making hot pot ingredients_How to make hot pot ingredients

When we eat hot pot, we usually choose to go to a hot pot restaurant or cook hot pot at home. When we cook hot pot at home, we go to the supermarket to buy hot pot base directly, because such hot pot base is delicious and convenient. In fact, we can also make hot pot base by ourselves. The hot pot base made by ourselves is safer and healthier. So how to make the hot pot base delicious?

1. Pour rapeseed oil into the pot. The amount is up to you. You can boil more. You don’t have to boil it again when you want to eat it in the future. This is more convenient. Then cut the dried chili into sections, and soak them in the oil pan with peppercorns, fennel, tangerine peel and other spices (except green onions and bean paste). The longer the better.

2. In our spare time, we need to cook some bone soup. No salt is needed in the soup, just some onion and ginger.

3. Put the ginger and garlic into the soaked oil and simmer over low heat. Be careful not to burn them. Let the aroma of the spices, the spiciness of the chili, and the numbing flavor of the Sichuan peppercorns come out.

4. Then add the bean paste and rock sugar and stir-fry over medium heat. Still, you have to control the heat so that they don’t get burnt.

5. When it is almost done and the rock sugar has melted, you can add a little brine to make the hot pot ingredients taste more fragrant and stronger. Stir-fry it for a while, then pour in a little bone soup and simmer for a while.

There are many different opinions about the origin of hot pot. Just like Arabic numerals, it originated in India, but was spread to all corners of the world by the Arabs. This is why people later misunderstood that Arabic numerals were invented by Arabs.

There are two theories about the origin of hot pot: one is that it was during the Three Kingdoms period or the era of Emperor Wen of Wei in China, and the "bronze tripod" at that time was the predecessor of hot pot; the other is that hot pot began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the "dou" in the unearthed cultural relics refers to hot pot. It can be seen that hot pot has a history of more than 1,900 years in China. Chengdu hotpot was first recorded in "Fu of Shudu" in Zuo Si's "Fu of Three Capitals". It can be seen that its history is more than 1,700 years.
