But speaking of hot pot, what to eat? What is the soul component of hot pot?
Yingying thinks the following foods are essential for eating hot pot:
First, hairy belly
Maodu is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, thiamine, riboflavin and nicotinic acid. A little scalding can produce the excellent taste of crisp and tender slag, which is deeply loved by people, so it became the main ingredient of hot pot at that time, and it is still one of the most popular dishes in Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot and one of the soul dishes of hot pot.
Second, duck intestines
Duck intestines are the ingredients of many dishes. Hot pot tastes delicious, crisp and delicious. It is also a necessary dish for eating hot pot.
Third, spicy beef.
Beef is rich in protein and amino acids. Can improve the body's disease resistance.
The beef was salted and covered with fiery red peppers. Hot pot is smooth, tender and refreshing, with rich taste levels. It is also one of the important ingredients for eating hot pot.
So when it comes to hot pot, what is his soul component? I think it's Chili. Hot pot without pepper is soulless. Some people may say, I don't eat Chili, it doesn't matter. But as long as you eat hot pot, it is perfect to eat Chili hot pot. Not spicy. You can put less, slightly spicy, eat, just like me, abnormal spicy, let you feel it.
Pepper is an indispensable ingredient in hot pot, skewers, maocai and many Sichuan dishes. Different varieties of peppers play different roles in each dish. Similarly, pepper is the soul of hot pot bottom material, and it becomes colorful when placed in hot pot. It is its bright red color and unique taste that makes me want to stop eating hot pot. When the spicy taste of pepper stimulates the nerve endings in the tongue and mouth, the brain will immediately order the whole body to "enter a state of alert": the heart beats faster, saliva or sweat secretion increases, the stomach doubles "work" and releases endorphins at the same time. If you take another bite, your brain will think that there is pain coming and release more endorphins. The sustained release of endorphins will make people feel relaxed and excited, resulting in "pleasure" after eating spicy food. Another factor of pepper addiction is the role of capsaicin. When the taste cells are exposed to capsaicin, they will be more sensitive and feel the delicious food. People eat Chili, as long as they don't hurt their mouths, their taste becomes sensitive. In addition, when eating peppers, the secretion of saliva and gastric juice in the mouth increases, and gastrointestinal peristalsis accelerates. People eat poorly and eat less, so they have the idea of eating Chili.
