Maocai is a dish with meat, bean products, vegetables, seafood and mushrooms as the main ingredients. It originated in Chengdu and is a traditional snack with Sichuan characteristics.

The most exquisite way to eat in maocai is "dry dish", that is, put dried Chili powder in a small dish, add seasonings such as salt and monosodium glutamate, and gently dip the scalded dishes in the pot into the dry dish, which can be sent to the mouth. It is delicious and fragrant.
