Nutrition of Beef Hot Pot

The production process of Beef Hotpot is complicated. After slaughtering the cow, people take out the undigested contents from the cow’s stomach and small intestine and squeeze them out. For the liquid, add ox bile and condiments, put it into a pot and simmer over low heat. After boiling, filter the foam on the surface of the liquid before eating. The main effect is because cows eat a variety of herbs, many of which are herbal medicines, and ox bile has anti-inflammatory effects.

Therefore, Niuban is not only a unique delicacy, but also has the functions of reducing inflammation, strengthening the stomach, dispelling heat, and treating inflammation and colds. The hot pot base has a faint smell of rotten grass before it is cooked, and then the beef offal is poured into the hot pot, just like Chongqing people eat soup pots.

But it smells like cow dung when cooked. It tastes medicinal and a little bitter. Although you can make your own dipping sauce, you still can't suppress the taste. The soup base is added with spices such as Acorus and Chuanxiong, which will become more and more fragrant the more you eat it.
