Hot pot meatballs can often be seen in major supermarkets and vegetable markets. All kinds of meatballs are delicious and off the charts in taste, and they are indispensable foods such as mala Tang, chafing dish and Guandong cooking.
However, the hot pot meatballs made by the Japanese are "artificial meat" and contain a lot of preservatives and additives. Because these meatballs are made of minced meat, adding additives can greatly increase the softness of meatballs.
There are two versions of the origin of hot pot:
First, Genghis Khan's invention theory
The origin of hot pot was not in Sichuan, but was invented by Genghis Khan. He fought all over the world for many years, and it took him a long time to see the soldiers eating traditional barbecue mutton. In order not to delay the soldiers, he cut the mutton into small pieces and threw it into a boiling pot. From then on, there was a hot pot in the world. From a certain point of view, it was the hot pot that filled the stomachs of Mongolian cavalry, captured the Central Plains in high spirits and hit Central Asia all the way west.
Second, the invention principle of the Three Gorges tracker
1000 years ago, in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, a group of trackers, with heavy steps and tired bodies, set up an earthen stove by the river. They took out the peppers, peppers and spices they carried with them, took water from the Yangtze River, boiled it into soup, supplemented by spirits, and boiled out fresh fish, live shrimps and various vegetables. After some heroic, passionate and tired, the trackers roared with passionate songs, put on their ropes and set off. Leaving a dirty stove and plumes of smoke.
