What's the difference between northern and southern hot pots? As a university in Chengdu married to Inner Mongolia and especially love hot pot Shandong sister, I will compare the difference between Sichuan hot pot and Inner Mongolia hot pot, I think it is still more of a right to speak Oh ~

? I think the first difference is the bottom of the pot. Sichuan hot pot pot base to spicy, you can also want clear soup and mushroom soup, but spicy flavor is the authentic Sichuan hot pot, and there is clear oil, butter points, I personally think the butter is better, more fragrant. The bottom of the pot is still a lot of things, in addition to the necessary chili pepper hemp pepper, there are a variety of ingredients that can not be named, the red color looks appetizing, do not look at the color is scary, in fact, not so spicy, not too spicy to eat spicy partners can be a little spicy it ~ Inner Mongolia's hot pot pot is white water or bone broth, with a little onion and ginger and so on, eating is the original flavor of the meat and vegetables, the bottom of the pot is not anything too strong taste, I I think it is also good.

? The second major difference is the dipping sauce. Sichuan hot pot dipping sauce has two kinds of dry dish and oil dish. Dry dish is chili noodles, sesame seeds and so on mixed into the oil dish is mainly sesame oil, add a little minced garlic, with oyster sauce and vinegar, and then add a little coriander, the taste is particularly great, if you think the bottom of the pot is not spicy enough, you can also add some millet spices, the taste is simply too addictive, the focus of the oil dish in the sesame oil, and the taste of the sesame oil of our own cooking at home is not the same, there is no so heavy oil flavor, it should be the modulation of the. Inner Mongolia's hot pot dipping sauce is naturally based on the sesame sauce flavor, add a little tofu milk and chive flowers, also very fragrant. Personally, I still very much recommend Sichuan hot pot oil dish, have not eaten the partners must try!

? The third major difference is the dish that is shabu-shabu. In Sichuan eat hot pot not eat much beef and mutton, shabu meat dishes are mainly duck intestines, tripe, yellow throat, eel, pig brain, duck tongue, luncheon meat and so on, these things in recent years in the north also began to more up, I was small when I could not eat these things, to go to Chengdu for the first time in college to eat duck intestines, feel especially fresh, and slowly like to eat these, although you can't eat a lot of meat, but it is very flavorful, personally! Recommended is the duck tongue and pig brain, in fact, many people on the pig brain is excluded, but it is my favorite, I like it melt in the mouth texture, and very fragrant, but also a little greasy, a hot pot should not eat more Oh, and pig brain a little to be fresh, not fresh is very much affected by the taste and texture, yellow throat may be some people don't know which part is in fact a pig's throat, more slippery and crispy; greens varieties are also more, I personally prefer to have bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots, pig throat, pig throat, pig throat, and so on. I personally like bamboo shoots, a variety of mushrooms, phoenix tails, bean sprouts and so on. In Inner Mongolia to eat hot pot is to eat beef and mutton, until full, Inner Mongolia beef and mutton flavor is really especially great, mutton a little bit of stink is not, and the taste is very good, green vegetables to cook and eat is not too much variety, is the common ones, such as Chinese cabbage, spinach, rape, oleander, and so on.

? The last difference I think is related to the environment and people's living habits in different regions. In Chengdu, the pace of life is slower, the locals also live a very leisurely, for those who taste good hot pot restaurant, after nine o'clock in the evening are waiting in line to eat, the night life is also colorful, Sichuan people eat hot pot to eat is the taste, feeling and leisure. In Inner Mongolia, hot pot is a kind of meal, if there are many people can be changed to another family, home own shabu is also a good choice, because they can also buy good beef and mutton, and the store is not much difference.
