When selecting hot pot materials, in addition to beef, mutton, dog meat, squid and other meats, you can add some cool vegetables, such as white gourd, Chinese cabbage, watercress, lotus root and so on. People who like bitter taste can also eat bitter gourd.
Putting some lotus seeds at the bottom of the soup not only helps to balance nutrition, but also has the effect of clearing away heart fire.
Extended data:
Generally speaking, there are basically only three types of hot pot. The first soup is mild, the raw slices are mainly rinsed, and dipping plays an important role. Instant-boiled mutton and Guangdong-style edge sealing furnace are the most representative. The second is that the materials in the pot are all cooked, such as casserole fish head and mutton stove. Fire is only used for heat preservation and cooking.
The third is that the ingredients in the pot are all cooked, and even the vegetables don't need to be blanched. Fire is completely used for heat preservation, just like cauldrons, such as Buddha jumping over the wall and Fuxing pot.
