Chongqing hot pot has distinctive local cultural characteristics. It brings consumers a different spicy hot pot flavor with its unique taste and charm.

Moreover, the city of Chongqing is known as the "Hot Pot City". You can see the existence of hot pot restaurants on the streets, which really meets consumers' needs for hot pot.

Although Chongqing hot pot is very hot and authentic, there are still some people who don’t understand Chongqing hot pot. Let’s take a look at the three major characteristics of Chongqing hot pot.

1. Chongqing hot pot is relatively oily and spicy, so its hot pot ingredients focus on chili, butter and pepper, and rarely use spices.

It can be seen that it is obviously different from Chenggong hot pot. Its taste is aromatic, fresh and mellow, oily but not greasy, spicy and satisfying, which is really endless aftertaste.

Moreover, consumers can smell the aroma of Chongqing’s authentic old hot pot outside the store. The more it is cooked, the more fragrant it becomes. Those counterfeit products will only become more bitter as they are cooked, making it easy for consumers to tell the difference.

At the same time, the taste of Chongqing hot pot is relatively strong. In order to prevent consumers from getting angry, special attention is paid to this when making the base ingredients, and relevant substances are added to ensure that everyone eats deliciously without getting angry.

2. The main ingredients of traditional hot pot are vegetables and meat, while the authentic Chongqing hot pot has a very rich variety of dishes, including beef liver, beef tongue, back fillet, lotus root, blood, etc., as well as various poultry,

Seafood, aquatic products, game, animal offal, etc. can also provide consumers with fresh vegetables and green fungi.

Of course, in order to allow foreigners to taste Chinese specialties, Western hot pot is also specially provided for foreigners. It can be seen that in Chongqing hot pot shops, as long as the ingredients that consumers think of can be satisfied, almost all of them can be satisfied.

3. The base of Chongqing hot pot is made of Sichuan peppercorns, pepper, garlic seeds, glutinous rice cake, butter, a small amount of rock sugar, tempeh and other raw materials. Generally, no spices are used.

These raw materials need to be stir-fried for about 3-5 hours, so that the aroma of the chili peppers is completely leached out by the butter. The color of the oil appears red and the aroma is spicy. This also shows the passionate character of Chongqing people.

In addition, Chongqing hot pot also has many flavors of oil dishes, such as: clear oil dish, tea oil dish, garlic oil dish, dry oil dish, sesame oil dish, etc.

They are all made from sesame oil, oyster sauce, cooked vegetable oil, soup, MSG, minced garlic, egg white, etc.
