When selecting hot pot materials, in addition to beef, mutton, dog meat, squid and other meats, you can also add some cool vegetables, such as wax gourd, Chinese cabbage, watercress, lotus root and so on. People who like bitter taste can also have some bitter gourd.
Putting some lotus seeds at the bottom of the soup not only helps to balance nutrition, but also has the effect of clearing the heart and purging fire.
Extended data:
Generally speaking, there are basically only three kinds of hot pot. The first soup is mild, the raw slices are mainly rinsed, and dipping plays an important role. Mutton hot pot and Guangdong-style edge sealing furnace are the most representative. The second is that the materials in the pot are cooked, such as casserole fish head, mutton stove, and fire is only used for heat preservation and cooking.
The third is that the ingredients in the pot are cooked, and even the dishes don't need to be scalded. Fire is completely used for heat preservation, just like cauldrons, such as Buddha jumping over the wall and Fuxing pot.
