For a hot pot meal, seasonings can be said to play a very crucial role. Here are three flavors that I prefer.
15.
Tahini: You can adjust some favorite hot pot ingredients when making the soup. To season the sesame paste, stir with pure sesame paste and mineral water until it is creamy, not too thin or too thick, just like thick yogurt.
16.
The prepared sesame sauce is topped with fermented bean curd, chives, chili oil, coriander, chopped green onions, and chopped peanuts. Stir well before serving. Ground peanuts I use the cooked peanuts, which are sold in the shell, and they are crushed with a rolling pin.
17.
Dry dish ingredients: crushed chili, white sesame seeds, peppercorns, salt, saute in a pot over low heat, and smash it. Finally add some ground peanuts and mix well. This seasoning has a heavier taste and is very suitable for dipping meat and offal. Red oil pan is also very suitable for this dipping sauce.
18.
Beef sauce: light soy sauce and fish sauce 3:1, add Thai pepper rings, green onions, and coriander. Just one word: fresh

1. One tablespoon is 15ml, about 15g when measuring the liquid. If there is no scale or spoon, just use the small white porcelain soup spoon at home. 1 teaspoon is 5ml
2. Pixian Doubanjiang must choose the better quality, and the Doubanjiang will be a bit spicy. But the last mutton scorpion and hot pot are not very spicy, so it is not recommended to omit the seasoning.
