----------------------------------------------- Suitable dipping sauce

Dipping sauce will have a great flavor-enhancing effect on the ingredients. The following guide will give you several recipes and tell you how to make sesame sauce dipping sauce more delicious.

1. Preparation of sesame sauce for dipping: Most of the canned sesame sauce available on the market are not suitable for eating directly.

(Dry, even slightly bitter.) Therefore, we need to do some pre-processing of it.

(Note: The picture on the left is the sesame paste just taken out of the bottle, and the picture on the right is after processing) It is actually very simple, just do the following three things.

1. Take out the amount of sesame paste you want to eat and place it in a larger empty bowl.

Generally speaking, if you want to eat a bowl of sesame paste, only half a bowl to 3/4 bowl of raw materials is enough.

2. Take out a spoon or chopsticks and stir the sesame paste in the same direction.

3. During the mixing process, you will find that the sesame paste in the bowl gradually becomes dry and hard, making it impossible to stir. At this time, you can add two to three tablespoons of hot water (or hot soup base) to the sesame paste, and then continue stirring.

(Please note, do not be greedy for convenience and add too much water at one time. You must add it again after the sesame paste is absorbed, otherwise you will not be able to achieve a uniform and smooth taste.) 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the sesame paste is stirred.

No dryness whatsoever.

(Generally speaking, it takes 10-20 minutes. Skilled hands or faster mixing speed can shorten this time. By the fourth step, your sesame sauce "base" is complete. The taste of this bowl of sesame sauce even without adding any seasoning

Even with just a little salt, it will be very delicious. Regarding the sesame paste, most of the sesame paste in hot pot restaurants will be seasoned to give everyone the best experience.

The combination is for everyone, you can use it as appropriate: fermented bean curd (red bean curd is better), chive flowers, sesame oil, sesame oil, red oil (spicy oil), minced coriander, soy sauce, sesame seeds, etc. Best food to match: mutton and fat beef.

Seasoning series (suitable for all kinds of hot pot with thick and delicious soup base) Raw eggs! The main purpose of using raw eggs as hot pot dipping sauce is not to enhance the taste, nor to make it more delicious - but to make the ingredients more delicious.

Cool down. Most of the time, a piece of cooked tofu or a well-cooked meatball can be quickly cooled down within 5-10 seconds when placed in a raw egg.

The temperature at the entrance. Therefore, if the eggs are hygienic and clean, you might as well try this way of eating: While ensuring that the eggs are hygienic and fresh, crack an egg into a bowl and stir it gently with chopsticks.

Next, mix the eggs and egg whites roughly. The dipping sauce is complete. If you are worried that the taste of the egg liquid will be lighter, you can add a little soy sauce, salt, or chicken essence/chicken powder, but remember to stop here.

, you must not add too much seasoning to the egg base, otherwise it will become very ugly and unappetizing. This way of eating will maximize the original taste of the ingredients, so it is not recommended that you add too much seasoning.

--------------------------------------------------The soup base has finished the ingredients.

, we can start discussing the soup base. In line with the principle of not wasting materials, my soup base is a combination of using excess materials to make soup + hot pot base. There are many choices for hot pot base. I personally prefer Little Sheep or Little Sheep.

Haidilao, because I have to take care of many people who don’t eat spicy food, so I haven’t done much research on spicy soup bases (but in most cases, the more red oil in spicy soup bases, the more fragrant it is.

The best way to make it stand out is to stir-fry the base ingredients in advance.) The basic soup uses chicken bones, king oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, radishes and tomatoes. If you have the time, you can also add one or two pork ribs (or

Dragon bones) to increase the flavor. Since you will enjoy a lot of chicken legs in every hotpot, the chicken bones, which play an important role in making soup, will remain. Adding them to the soup can make good use of the remaining chicken bones when processing mushrooms.

When eating, there will be some unsightly or unpalatable parts (such as mushroom stems, the part near the root of king oyster mushroom, or the black area on the head). It is a pity to throw them into the trash can, so these are

It is the best material for making soup base. Sometimes the radish is not cut well (or the end part is not convenient to slice), so it will be cut into pieces and added together.
