I ordered a seafood hotpot paste, and while I was eating, I listened to the boss lady explain how to make the hotpot paste. It turns out that the hotpot paste is made of dough, with seafood and seasonings such as pepper, mushrooms, onions, and garlic added. Put it into the pot, and when the water boils, quickly scoop up the paste on the side of the pot. The boss lady said that because the paste on the side of the pot is thin and rolled, the soup is clear and not mushy, and the taste is delicious. It was once famous throughout the city. I gently scooped up a spoonful and put it in In your mouth, a rich seafood flavor instantly overflows into your mouth. The light aroma of noodles blends with the strong seafood, and it gives you a glutinous and warm feeling when you chew it.
