LEARN HOW TO MAKE THE MOST AMAZING CHINESE HOT POT RECIPE EXPERIENCE AT HOME!

LAY HO MA (how’s it going in Cantonese)! This episode is close to the heart and it’s perhaps not so much an exact recipe as it is an experience. Join me in this episode and enjoy some amazing Chinese style Hot Pot!

LIGHT BROTH INGREDIENTS:
1 large daikon/lo bok
2 carrots
medium piece ginger
3 sticks green onion
10 dried shiitakes
4L water
1 tbsp salt

LIGHT BROTH DIRECTIONS:
1. Peel and chop the daikon into medium sized cubes, roughly chop the carrots, slice the ginger, and roughly chop the green onions
2. Add all of the light broth ingredients to a large stockpot and bring to a boil. Then, simmer on medium for about 1hr

SPICY BROTH INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup dried red chilies
1-2 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cane sugar
4 pieces garlic
medium piece ginger
3 sticks green onion
2 cups avocado oil
1/4 cup doubanjiang
1/4 cup black bean paste

SPICY BROTH DIRECTIONS:
1. In a small saucepan, add the water and dried red chilies. Then, bring to a boil and let it cook for a few minutes
2. Transfer the chilies to the blender along with a couple splashes of water. Blend on medium high and set aside
3. Heat the saucepan to medium heat and add the Sichuan peppercorns, fennel seeds, and coriander seeds. Toast for a few minutes, then set aside. Add the ground cloves, cinnamon, and cane sugar to the toasted spices
4. Roughly chop the garlic, ginger, and green onions. Then, add them into the saucepan along with the avocado oil. Bring to medium heat and cook for 5-7mins
5. Carefully add the doubanjiang, black bean paste, toasted spices, as well as the blended chilies. Cook for another 5-7mins on medium heat stirring occasionally
6. Turn the heat off and let the oil cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer to the blender and blend on medium high for a few seconds. Use right away of store in the fridge for later use (this broth base is good for about 3-4 Hot Pots)
7. When ready to use, simply dissolve about 1/3 cup of this spicy broth base to 4-5 cups of the light broth and bring to a boil. Throw some extra whole dried chilies in there for good measure!

DIPPING SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp chili oil (https://youtu.be/IkBWsfsEVkM)
2 tsp black vinegar
some green onions
1 piece garlic
small piece ginger
1 tbsp avocado oil
splash of toasted sesame oil
pinch of salt

DIPPING SAUCE DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine the soy sauce, chili oil, black vinegar, and green onions for one sauce. Grate the garlic and ginger and mix together with the avocado oil, toasted sesame oil, and some salt for the second dipping sauce

  8. We ❤ Hot Pot!

    I got to know Hot Pot during my time at university and I instantly fell in love with this dish. Over the past years I even managed to get my friends and my elderly parents hooked on Hot Pot. Rarely goes a week by now without any Hot Pot 😂
    We even had Hot Pot at a restaurant in London (UK) during our summer holidays. It was a life changing experience! 😍
    Thank you for your delicious recipe! 🙏

  9. DAIKON SMELLS AND TASTES LIKE OLD ROTTEN STINKY FEET….LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL LOCKER ROOM…EEEWWWW!!!!!! I MAKE THE WIFE COOK IT OUTSIDE

  10. Do you have recommendations on a split pot for hot pot? I just moved out of my parents house and it would be nice to have one of my own for entertaining.

  11. 🫶🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾My Family and I get together every winter and have HOTPOT WEEKEND 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🫶🏾

  12. I used to live in China and I miss authentic hot pot. It was such an occasion to eat together and cook your own food. In Chengdu I introduced by parents to it and man it defeated us. Was so spicy by entire face was swollen, numb and I was drinking.

  13. yum, i’ve never had hot pot but always wanted to. Definitely will be trying something along these lines in the future. Cheers mate, love your content ❤

  14. Thank you! Those dried shiitake mushrooms look amazing. Where do you get them? Do you happen to have a label?

  15. Oh man, this makes me want to buy a dual hot pot and have a hot pot community dinner. Thank you Wil. Perfect for a holiday video.

  16. I've eaten non-vegetarian hot pot twice. Loved it. Because of the lengthy process, making it at home seems like an impossible dream.

  17. Hi❤ Thank you for letting us know how to prepare a hotpot. Love it ❤️ 🥰 ❤

  18. my favorite kind of food!!! this is just amazing…. this will definitely be on my what to cook list<3

  19. I would love to encourage you Wil , I wanted to order one of your cook books for my son for Christmas , but everything is in US funds? It really kills us in Canada. Specially that the book is produced in Canada. Even shipping is in US funds? Hmmmm I’m surely not the only one stopping from purchasing with the US funds. Sorry, it just stopped me cold. Great show, I watch it all the time. Keep up the great work.

  20. Never had hot pot or heard of it but want to try it now, looks so delicious 😋. Both my daughters and son-n-law would love 💕 this since we are vegan. Grandkids not sure 🤷🏽‍♀️😂. Thanks for sharing ❤❤

  21. Your timing is perfect Will! I have an antique Mongolian Fire Pot that's been in storage for a long time. I'm about to move and that baby is coming out to play. It's old enough so the cooking source is wood or charcoal. I have to learn how to use it but it's going to be fun. Thank you for this. This looks fantastic! ❤❤❤
