In college I had a roommate from Beijing and we made hot pot once a week. It's been 10 years and I still make it for my family. It's definitely one of my favorite dishes she taught me.

[@2degucitas]

Are the hot pot appliances expensive?

[@Kyle697]

@@2degucitas it’s just a stove with a pot on top no extra appliances needed

[@cheetahtfk7274]

@@2degucitas not at all. I have an electric induction hot plate that came with the pot. It cost maybe $30-40. You can also make hot pot in a regular pot on your stove if you don't want to buy the extra materials. You could cook a batch of food on the stove, move the pot to the table and have everyone scoop out what they want into their own bowl, then add the next batch of food to the pot and put it back on the stove to cook while everyone eats the first batch.

My fave part of the hotpot experience is the soup you're left with at the end. All the flavor and fat from the meat and other ingredients plus the constant reduction leave you with a soup that is divine and a perfect end to the meal.

[@bailewen]

Funny cuz in China, it's like the most convenient family dinner you can make at home. The base looks like a hassle, but in the fridge, it keeps for ages. So it's like making pickles or something. Once you have a big jar or it in the fridge, dinner is just wash and cut yer veggies and meat, add a scoop of the base, and set up a coffee table with a hot plate in front of the TV.

As a Chinese who grew up eating hot pot I RANNNNNNN when I saw the notification I'll update thoughts after watching the video Update: okay so he did the broth by himself which is A+ for effort bc we don't even do that! We just buy the base in a block/sauce form and cook it. However, he did add some twists that are not necessarily that authentic (e.g. mushroom powder). Food wise he's got cabbage and beef, but I wish he'd tried even more authentic ingredients, like tofu puff, lamb, enoki mushroom, white radish, lotus root, and if you're more adventurous blood curd and beef entrails. My favorite in the non-spicy broth is frozen tofu (you just freeze soft tofu and throw them in, literally) it will develop these honey-comb-like structures that soak up all the delicious broth, YUM! Dipping sauce wise, personally I just like to add condiments to plain Chinese-styled sesame sauce, like fermented bean curd, cilantro, green onion, chili oil, soy sauce, garlic chive blossom sauce, toasted sesame oil, and Chinese black vinegar if you like something tangy. What josh did was totally new though, and that garlic sesame sauce looks so good. I'll definitely try it out the next time I have hot pot!

[@christelmorvan9682]

Same here. Went to China, we had 10 different hot pots at restaurants. Never ever I saw somebody have rice with it. And we had a table topped with a lot of different ingredient from which we could make our own dipping sauce. This sauce is combined with some of the broth from the hot pot itself. This is quite important I think personally. Also one of the best thing to add is yuba or mushrooms, because of squishy textures will swallow even more the flavours of the broth. Also you can finish it by poaching an egg into it!

[@GriffinWarrior]

Yay! Best part of this video is seeing the dish getting enjoyed by the crew. All the cooking TV shows would've gotten so much more clout if they showed the food they made actually getting enjoyed by the people who worked so hard to film it!

[@zackwu6298]

In my family, the broth is always homemade by simmering some beef beginning in the morning, and then flavored with some herbs. The dipping sauces are extremely accurate, however at our home we use sesame paste and then mix that with the sesame garlic, the soy sauce compound, and a lot of other stuff, and then loosen with a bit of broth so we can dunk it because that is how we do it at my house. Overall this is extremely accurate for a more high end hotpot, good video.

[@alexwatkins9902]

We just bought your cookbook and I'm just blown away by the attention to detail. Well done sir we look forward to the next one!!

[@charlesbonali5180]

As Chinese, I'm amazed how RIGHT Josh did the spicy flavor pot. Just two really important tips about enjoying hot pot: 1. You need really THIN sliced beef or lamb to maximize the flavor. 2. There is actually a dipping sauce for hot pot: half table spoon of Tahini (sesami paste), 2 table spoons of peanut butter and a table spoon of sesami oil, blend well with some non-chili soup (or just hot water) till the whole thing becomes sticky but diluted. It would be the best if you can get some of the "fermented bean curd" in it, but it's optional. Last but not least, some chopped coriander and green onions.

[@xenaioaks5363]

I keep seeing comments like these and I'm getting more hungry!

[@dropslemon]

For those of you that have an instant pot and don't want to buy a whole extra thing to be able to do hot pot, you won't be able to divide the broths the same way but you can do a one-broth hot pot by sticking your instant pot on saute mode!

Perfect timing with your video. I just moved to the capital of hotpot, the city of Chongqing, China. There’s like 10 hot pot spots if not more less than 5 minutes away from my place. This food is paradise. For the authentic experience, take all of your spicy crystalized orange mixture and put it in a pot without a non spicy side. Just one quarter of it is just not the punch in the gut that the real thing is supposed to do to you. And don’t forget a bunch of beers, you can’t be sober by the end of this experience. Of course, nothing wrong with the non spicy and multiple variations of hotpot, but the Chongqing experience deserves a try.

[@toxicmustardwasabi]

great video. making your own soup base is truly next level. what I love doing with hotpot is making my own dipping sauce by combining the sesame oil-garlic and vinegar-soy sauces with chilli oil/chilli crisp, and then cracking in one raw egg and mixing it all together. also I agree with the "no rice during hotpot" comments. you already have dumplings - save more space for the beef.

Kudos for making hot pot from scratch! You could also use meatball, fish, shrimp and tofu as accoutrements. One tip is to have noodles and dumplings as the last ingredients you put into the hot pot, so that they can absorb all the flavors of all the previous items!

Sesame sauce is amazing, I think it taste best with veggies because I think ponzu should is too sour for vegetables and this is my recipe on it, it doesn’t require sesame paste In a food processor add - 2 tbsp of toasted white sesame - 1 tbsp of rice vinegar or 1/2 tbsp of white vinegar - 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce - a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper - 1 tbsp of mayo - 2 tbsp of your broth or just water - 1 tbsp of sesame oil (optional but brings a nice flavour to it) and blend, it is good with meat and best with veggies

[@Ypsilion]

When my (white) parents came to visit me in Japan 6 years ago, I took them to have hot pot (the Chinese type, not the Japanese nabe style). Man, my dad was SO disappointed and complained it was just "soup with wilted vegetables and meat you have to cook by yourself". But after the first bite, my friends, he was an enlightened man. It's a pretty famous all-you-can-eat hot pot, so I think in total we repeated everything (various meat cuts and vegetables) 3 or 4 times. He even made me take them to the same store again before they left Japan. All of this to say, nabe/hot pot is one of my favorite foods of all time. It's warm, comforting, and really delicious. If you don't have a hot pot/name restaurant close to home, please try the recipe! You will never regret it!

This take on hot pot was actually pretty good both in terms of adhering to tradition and a unique take. However, for dipping sauces, I would say the most important sauce for chinese style hot pot would be sesame sauce, or majiang. It's a mix of sesame seeds, toasted sesame oil, and a variety of other ingredients of your choosing ranging from fermented bean curd (jiangdoufu/"jiang tofu") to tianmianjiang to even miso, and puree'd in a blender. It's the consistency and color of liquid peanut butter, and it's almost a must have in hot pot.

[@yx3255]

LOL as someone growing up where the Niuyou hot pot originated, I'd rather go with sesame oil plus garlic and salt for dipping sauce.

[@bailewen]

@@yx3255 sesame sauce is Beijing/Muslim influence. Lot's of sesame sauce in Shaanxi or in the northwest, but you won't find anyone in Sichuan using it. For Sichuanese, the OG of hotpot, sesame sauce for hotpot is like katsup for steak

[@Arwenpii]

@@bailewen Sichuan hotpot is not OG. I say this as the granddaughter of a Sichuanese. It just happens to be the most well-known in the west. All Chinese provinces have their own preference and history goes back so far its hard to say which is the oldest. Most hotpot restaurants in China will offer most types of dipping sauces and sesame/fermened tofu sauces are truly a flavour bomb

[@bailewen]

@@Arwenpii nah...throughout China, with only rare exceptions, it's all either Sichuan or Beijing style (there's the occasional Guangdong style, but it's rare). All the localities might have their own spin on it, but even if you are in Guangxi or whatever, they will make up a Sichuan sounding name for the shop

[@bailewen]

p.s. "Beijing" style is boring

[@chervywong96]

Other soup bases I love in hot pot is tomato and pork bone. Tip: If you can't find dried shitake mushroom and jujubes (AKA red dates), you can add corn and carrot to your clear soup base for some extra sweetness. Also, I'm chinese but the shabu beef is a little too thick for hot pot imo ... don't at me pls 🙃

Dude, is there anything you can't make?

[@lilianagomez4103]

$76,000 just in two weeks Mrs Christine Norine Martin you are so amazing.

[@kellywoods3341]

Same here, I started with $12,000 now earning $58,300 bi-weekly profits with her trading program.

[@antoniomartinez-pf3od]

I've heard a lot about investments with Mrs Christine Norine and how good she is, please how safe are the profits?

[@yamahayua4802]

I have also been trading with her. The profits are secured and over a 80% return on investment directly sent to your wallet.

[@amandatorres4632]

After watching so many KZbin tutorial videos about trading, I was still making losses until Mrs Christine started managing my investments. Now I make $10,567 weekly. God bless Mrs Christine Norine Martin. She’s been a blessing to my family.

[@jordanbriesacher5420]

I have really heard lot about Mrs Christine Norine Martin ,please can I have her info?

[@lelamp2721]

I literally just googled "hot pot" to see and imagine the flavours, your video has fufilled my need, thank you.

[@penitent2401]

oh man, this is so much more involved than what my mom make. Boil down chicken or pork bones for the stock, add 2 table spoon of tom yum paste, crushed and fried chilli if you want it hot. My own version is even faster, 2-3 chicken stock cubes and 2 table spoons tom yum paste then one full teaspoon of roasted chilly in oil (they sell it in a jar). as for the food, noodles and whatever you fancy adding in while walking through an asian grocery store.

[@kevin1049]

I the literal hour I have been on your channel you went from 5.99 million to 6 million subscribers. Congrats.

I had Chinese flatmates at university and we made hot pot way more than they probably liked doing! It was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

[@sophf6401]

This is sooo on point-espacilly with the pot u got. Respect

[@Ftwiiner]

the best part of the whole video was watching the crew eat and vibe at the end. thanks Joshua, that concentrated spicy mix looks incredible

[@meecha7154]

Tht looks so good I learn a lot just watching you.

[@ltngblt4]

Crew Eats should DEFINITELY be a series segment, share stories about that specific food

[@Paralianpoet]

Bro even in the house we just use store bought soup base. But still you going all the way... Mad respect.

[@2503condor]

Probably your best one yet! Thanks for the recipe!!!!!!

[@vwoeng7477]

Coconut water based soup is legit. It gives a refreshing and sweet taste to the broth. We also regularly use beef stock and prawn stock as base on top of adding Mala blocks and the chicken soup from Haidilao. You should try tofu rolls especially in the spicy soup. For the dipping sauce, chili oil and sesame oil with shaokao spices

[@djcybersword7978]

standing and eating, feel so relaxing ah

[@richardyang4001]

Respect from a native Chinese foodie me on making this hotpot from my hometown Sichuan so authentic

[@wzwcat]

Wow. I am Chinese. I never made hot pot from scratch. I need to try. The end of video reveal the spirit of hot pot. Let us “party”

[@jamielynyu226]

[@kvfake]

Gotta love the fresh, authentic pot

[@rsan245]

Even if i am not chinese, i appreciate the details, this is for those who havent tried hot pot, thanks for sharing

[@_DaCrazy_]

Working for Joshua IS the best eating expirience since you can just ask to have some when the video is done

[@0720Jove]

I love the ending when you’re all just enjoying eating it. ❤

[@JesiDavisBuildingaSimplerLife]

Instant soup base is GENIUS

[@anthonysvarcbergs9729]
