There are many kinds of ingredients in hot pot, including meat, vegetables, aquatic products, meatballs, dry goods and tripe in Venice. So first of all, you need to determine which kinds of hot pot ingredients you need to buy. Let me talk about my knowledge and understanding of these ingredients.

First of all, meat

This kind of food is more suitable for buying frozen meat and cutting it into rolls, or buying fresh meat and freezing it into pieces and cutting it into rolls. You can buy it at the cattle and sheep butcher shop in the general farmers' market, or you can ask them to process your own frozen meat into meat rolls.

Meat suitable for hot pot is generally mutton, fat beef and pork. Occasionally, cheap mutton and fat cattle are passed off as duck meat. We must pay attention to the difference. The way to tell is to look at the price. Especially cheap must be fake! Then look at the texture, the taste of meat and so on. Second, commonly used vegetable shabu-shabu, such as lettuce, cabbage, rape, lotus root slices, potatoes, bean sprouts and so on. And this will be done according to your own preferences.

Third, the most common aquatic product in hot pot is shrimp! There are still many hot pot brands that focus on shrimp, such as shrimp eating shrimp rinse and so on. It's best to buy fresh shrimp. If it's not frozen, it's good. Just pay attention to the date In addition to shrimp, squid, cuttlefish, Basha fish slices and Longli fish are all suitable for eating hot pot.

Fourthly, meatballs, which is Bian Xiao's main business. I have been in the business for five or six years, and I still know it very well. First of all, I want to correct the reputation of Maruko here. Now many ignorant media are demonizing meatballs. It is a rumor that a small pill is equal to ten birth control pills! Although meatballs are not nutritious, they are not so harmful to human body!

The main raw materials of meatballs are chicken and minced fish, and then starch. Now there are almost all additives in food, the main purpose is to keep fresh! In fact, imagine that meatballs are frozen food, and refrigeration itself is antiseptic, so its additive content is much lower than that of normal temperature food! Of course, choose meatball products to eat hot pot or choose big brands! At present, the first-class brand in China is Anjing, followed by Haixin, Huifa, Haibawang and Zheng Da. You can buy the products of these manufacturers!

Five, dry goods, these are more common, fans, bean skin, gluten, fungus, these are all counted, just buy the products of regular manufacturers according to your favorite, and dry goods are best bought in the supermarket!
