Maocai is a dish made of meat, bean products, vegetables, seafood and mushrooms. It originated in Chengdu, Sichuan, and is a traditional snack with Sichuan characteristics. Maocai was dubbed as "one person's hot pot".

Maocai's most exquisite way to eat is "dry dish", that is, put dry Chili powder in a small dish, add seasonings such as salt and monosodium glutamate, and gently dip the scalded dishes in the pot into the dry dish and send them to your mouth. It tastes fragrant and spicy. Maocai's raw materials are not limited, and all ingredients can be used.
