Tips:

1. The taste of this dish should be numb and spicy. We usually use Chinese pepper and rattan pepper to deep-fry, and use spicy sauce and rattan pepper sauce in the recipe to achieve quick seasoning.
2. Another method is to add the minced meat after the base material is cooked. However, if the heat is not well controlled, the minced meat will be boiled dry.
3. The final water starch is indispensable to thicken, which can make the soup more viscous and wrap it on the ingredients.
