Hi everyone, welcome to Souped Up Recipes. Today we are making a popular street food in China. Ma La Tang. Mala means numbing and spicy. Tang means to boil or blanch. Basically, it is a bunch of different ingredients cooked in a spicy and numbing soup base. In this video, I will show you everything, including how to make the broth, how to make the spicy and numbing flavor base, and I will also give you a non-spicy version for the people who can’t handle spicy food.

I will be honest that I will never make this recipe, however I still appreciate all the detail you go into the reasoning behind each ingredient as well as substitutions. You are an amazing teacher and the malatang looks so delicious!!!

[@greykitten7569]

It looks scary and tasty in the same time lol

[@l.abognot8758]

@berry more can you show me the recipe please mate

[@Supatsu]

I like how you always assuage my fears when I worry about finding ingredients, you are honestly one of the best teachers out there. I was just thinking about not being able to find the dried galangal and dried sand ginger, and I was like oh no without this the dish might be ruined..." but then you said "It's okay to skip a few, don't worry you're not gonna ruin the dish!" lol

[@suyintan6630]

Good cooking., ,.,

[@arkiase]

These people who are disliking do they think they are downloading the video?? Or what ? Because she's doing a great job!!!

[@mikesilva8493]

Haters will always hate.

[@rosemarykennedy5430]

She’s a terrific cook!

[@Shnozzler]

Even cute puppy videos get several dislikes. YT just works this way nothing to worry about.

[@UstedTubo187]

I'm new to the channel so that might explain this, but this was one of the first times I've ever seen a recipe where I had not heard of the large majority of the ingredients. It made me realize just how much is out there that I haven't seen. Can't wait to try this if I can.

[@brandon3872]

It's amazing how much there is to learn. Happy cooking :)

[@yollyuy1529]

If you go to Chinatown or any Asian grocery store, you’ll find find everything there.

[@amal6419]

Most videos with this many ingredients I skip, but you have a truly unique ability to make this approachable. Amazing.

[@susieangelo6410]

Loved the new "Souped Up Recipe" Sign Mandy. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@monaandersson3644]

Love the way you always show everything from scratch. You are such a joy to watch.

[@amal6419]

Not sure if you have watched her Peking Duck videos - they are the ultimate in "from scratch". To be clear - Mandy is bad ass.

[@yollyuy1529]

Thank you Chef. Serious cooking is not a joke. It goes down into the belly fast but we forget who slaved in the kitchen to make our lives easier. Kudos to you and all the others who are in the same line of work.

[@fabioconsonni3232]

Oh, this might be heaven! I love that you go thoroughly into the explaination of how to do. Thankyou

[@beluch2768]

This young woman is an amazing virtuoso. So young and charming, yet so accomplished and fearless. She makes all the millennials on Bon Appetit look like beginners (not counting Carla). I just wonder how many viewers will try to make this very difficult dish. Go Mandy!!

[@wittytui]

Wow ma la tang used to be my favourite before moving out of China. I cook it sometime too! But I miss the ingredients which I can’t get here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 like fresh lotus roots, certain types of mushroom and greens 🤣

[@dahnbeeshive8604]

Your recipes are so informative! I learn so much every time I watch your videos and motivate me to make more authentic Chinese food! Awesome work!💖 Thanks for sharing all your tips!💖

[@user-di2ko6me6z]

Haha, I love your translation Chinese to English. BTW they look so delicious. And I love your WOK so much. 喜歡你分享的食譜

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Thank you

[@SB-ok1hi]

GURLLLLLL I’m so impressed. What a GREAT video. So informative. You really pay attention to details. I can tell you really put alot of effort in making this video and I love it.

[@Big_ric]

I recently ate at a hot pot place with the mala broth. It was the most delicious soup and possible food I’ve ever had. Now I see why with the insane amount of ingredients and preparation. For a while I’ve been gathering spices for Chinese cooking but I’ve never heard of galangal and sand ginger. I probably won’t by that unless I get big on hotpot but maybe one day I’ll try this recipe

[@texasbella576]

You are such an amazing cook! You should be on the Cooking Channel!!

[@laowaiross3357]

Ahh ma la tang was my favourite treat when I lived in Beijing. My work colleagues introduced me to a dong bei ma la tang house, the non spicy still had some spice but also had the sesame paste in it. I wish I could snap my fingers and go back for another bowl. So delicious!

[@vedivedi]

Thank you so much for making it! I sent this request in the live stream and you mentioned that you will put it on the list. I cannot believe that the recipe is here already and that you made it! Thank you so much and continue sharing your talents and passion 😊❤️

[@Willowfire26]

I thank you, Mandy for remembering those of us who can't eat very hot or spicy foods. The meals always look delicious, but unfortunately we will never enjoy them. I appreciate your thoughtfulness about this. Many people don't think about it when presenting new cuisine. It must be a burden to make two versions of something. You, always go above and beyond and I thank you for that.

[@Cyberia398]

I love how you made yourself the bigger bowl of 🍜! I just received my Souped Up wok - it’s so beautifully made! Haven‘t seasoned it yet though. .

[@scoutfinch7727]

Same here!

[@AL-hr9tv]

Mandy, you are truly amazing and so so generous with your time and effort! Im so glad to find out how much work n how many ingredients are being used to get a real rich and sumptuous malatang!! Thanks for sharing yourself with us, I love all the steps and descriptions ans explanations.....duo xie duo xie:)

[@memuz22]

I had this dish before I migrated to Australia more than 40 years ago and missed this so much. Thank you for your recipe!!

[@1996vivian]

Wow! Just found your channel and love it! You do such an amazing job with explaining how to make this dish! You have a new sub!!! Can't wait to see your other recipes!

[@cel2460]

Now i understand why my mom is so hesitant to cook this at home lol. God i miss mala, i hope the restaurants open soon.

[@alphonsineaguillon7]

Sorry, I saw your channel after a long time. Have you gotten married?

[@laurenbuckley5311]

I can't wait to try this, cooking it and eating it. I have never tried before but it looks like a fantastic winter dish. Thankyou for the recipe and video step by step along with the tips and tricks. 🥰🙏

[@funnypapers9668]

This is an extremely well thought out and effective presentation:)

[@aishacheonghussain3647]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful recipies and methods. Much appreciated.

[@GF2445]

Malatang stalls have been popping up in my city over the last couple of years. One of the best meals you can have.

[@kennethevans2394]

Thank you very much Souped Up Recipes. I can't wait to go back to China and show my Mother in Law I can actually cook something good. I love your video's and you have taught me many recipes. Have good day^^

[@Paul_Sleeping]

The lengths the Asian and French cooking go to make fine delicious food is out of this world!

[@sewaldodiy]

It look so good Mandy!

[@fssrk1]

I live in Alaska and love spicy foods especially during winter time because its so cold out. I ate a Mala Hot Pot in San Antonio Texas and loved it. I will definitely make this recipe and let you know how it turns out. I heard its also called the kitchen sink recipe, looking at the long list of spices I can understand why now. The flavors I'm sure will be fantastic. Life is not worth living if you don't have flavor and spice. Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing this recipe its hard to find.

[@TC-xh5wp]

You should've dropped the mic after that video. That's a serious bowl of food right there, amazing!

[@ZoeAlvesDCunha]

Awesome recipe. I love the details. I love malatang

[@concerned_netizen]

You are so knowledgeable. Thank you for all the care and detail you put into this presentation. :)

[@shgstewart4674]

I don't think I'll actually be able to make this (I keep kosher, so I don't eat pork and can't use most of the prefab ingredients), but it was really interesting, and I may adapt the techniques. (I make a killer totally-kosher Pho, and figured out how to make awesome Vietnamese-style beef balls.) Also, learning the Chinese names of the ingredients will help me the next time I go to the Asian market. Teaching myself to read pinyin was an excellent investment of time. Thank you!

[@kretieg2943]

The only thing this is missing from my personal hot pot recipe is cumin seeds. I like to add nappa cabbage, enoki and king oyster mushrooms as toppings but the base is almost identical. Your husband is eating GOOOOOD!

[@cancel1913]

I've made Vietnamese Pho from scratch before and it was great. Now I want to make this Malatang Hot Pot! Well done video.

[@olyman63]

Wow so amazing learning a lot from you thank you. Have a great day

[@ianhomer3318]

Can’t wait to try this one - your hot pot recipe is one of my favourites, so I bet this is next level

[@uolpn3342]

Aww...i love Malatang. Thank you for sharing.

[@angelicahasan1828]

Brav-o ești super și explici așa de bine și de frumos ca in viața mea nu am văzut ca cineva sa sa explice așa de bine și frumos super mai convins sate urmăresc 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@khrawmarbz3442]

[@TC-mg3ug]

My favorite food of all from living in China! 🤤

[@lady007]

Love all your videos!!’

[@abidaangelesmilanesqadir2817]

Great presentation. Well explained.

[@MichaelAussie05]

This looks incredible thanks for your time and efforts.

[@botanic999]

Wow, great job! It's worth to cook😋

[@fernandesh.m.5504]

Tried this dish for the first time, 2 days ago. I love it! Wow I'm surprised it is pretty complicated to cook.

[@elmoeptn]

The Chinese licorice!!!! I've been trying to figure out what it was for so long. My coworker when I lived in China gave me some when I was feeling a little under the weather, but she couldn't figure out what it was called in English but that licorice looks quite like it!!! Also I love the video and one day hope to recreate this recipe at home!

[@MinhNguyen-mo5fp]

No kidding this is like a million ingredients and ton of work I would love to try it , but not now , I got tired just finished the video and listen to all the ingredients !!! 😉 but thank all the same!

[@yummychococookies]

Can you make a ma la xiang guo recipe?

[@imthefrogman1]

I love watching your video‘s even if i know i willl not make all of them. But you can bet i will try some of them. I wish you the best of luck and a very happy life.

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

Thanks for both versions, you know what they say *some like It HOT!*

[@antonina0zuzanna]

Wow, this one is really complicated! But I can't wait for other ways yo use this base. Maybe then it will be more worth the time to try :> And I really appreciate you've added Chinese characters for the names of the spices etc. In that way I can learn few words at a time and not get overwhelmed :)

[@abesterical]

This is a very popular dish in Melbourne. There are Ma La Tang restaurants everywhere in the CBD and why not, they're so good and addictive!

[@fabioconsonni3232]

Wow, wonderful!

[@obby4792]

You’re my favorite.👌👌👌 I miss this food and I like it so I definitely have to make it. I know I’ll not have all the ingredients but I’ll use what I can afford 🙏🙏🙏💪💪👌👌

[@ddsmiles6382]

Yum I can’t wait to try this recipe

[@marietewhare4783]

Well I'm going to try it, cos we have lots of Asian grocery stores here in Melbourne thank gwad . Thankyou for the recipe 😘

[@susangarland6869]

I love Chinese soups. I think that, of all the soups of the world, Chinese soups are the most interesting and flavorful. And there's so much variety! Thank you for this recipe! P.S. That's a serious bowl. You're not playing. 😜

[@Redshark0001]

Thank you for one more delicious recipe ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are the best !

[@AngelyKitchen]

[@kagasaki6]

I'm hungry...😖 I'm going to make my own version following your instructions (removing all the ingredients I dislike) Thank you!!

[@Taricus]

I used to have a ma la tang place next to my house in Hangzhou ^_^ Now I can have ma la tang whenever I want again

[@janbauer1499]

this looks so delecious! it was my absolute favorite dish during my time in china. i remember that in some restaurants they added some kind of sesame paste / tahine to the soup, together with the oil and garlic. do you know what kind of paste they are using?

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

This is amazing!!! Thank you so much for the shopping links. I get so overwhelmed at the market sometimes (especially that huge wall of chili paste jars haha). What kind of vegetable oil are you using? Thanks again for the recipe.

[@mikerupp2312]

best cook I ever knew said "I never make any recipe with more than six ingredients" less is more like baked chicken and salt or fish with salt

[@valeriecao782]

Can you do a review on the best store brand mala hot pot soup base?

[@khobia2]

I don’t eat half of those things but man it looks sooo delicious.

[@davidhalldurham]

This was very helpful! Thank you so much.

[@jamesgoacher1606]

You must have enjoyed making this dish very much. To be honest there is no way that I can make this. Five ingredients is a lot for me but the video was so interesting. Thank you so very much for this masterpiece. James.

[@valeriagalomo2787]

A big new fan, from Mexico

[@stranglewankhitman4936]

The discarded bone/blood water is really good for watering plants. The food looks amazing too :D

[@semco72057]

I gave up on that recipe a long time ago and don't figure the Chinese restaurants in my area sell that dish cooked either. In either case the one you made does look great and must be so delicious too.

[@RED_WIRE]

I miss eating Malatang. 🤤
