How to prepare sesame oil sauce for hot pot

Many people have misunderstandings about oil discs. For example, when making a fried dough stick, people put many kinds of ingredients together, thinking that they can taste a variety of flavors, but this is not the case. This combination will eliminate the characteristics of each ingredient, making the dish look messy and unrefined. Don’t make the oil sauce too fancy. For example, the most classic combination for red soup hotpot is: sesame oil + garlic + seasoning salt + chopped green onions. Only in this way can you taste the original flavor of the hot pot. If the combination is too fancy, it will greatly weaken the original taste of the hot pot, and it will not be conducive to cooling down and removing the spiciness.

The benefits of sesame oil dip are more than that. Eating sesame oil with hot pot can also delay aging. The vitamin E in sesame oil can promote cell division and delay aging, and protect blood vessels. Some friends may use sesame paste as a seasoning, but it will change the aroma of the food itself.
