spicy chicken hot pot

Today I will introduce a new member of hot pot family–spicy chicken hot pot. Along with the development of hot pot in ingredients and cooking processing, there are different types of hot pot with chicken as main meat ingredients. We all know that many hot pot soup bases need the stock which is cooked for a relatively long time with chicken. In case our dear reader want more about hot pot, please check my page hot pot introducing the culture, types and some history background of hot pot. And to save time, you can use Little Sheep Hot Pot Soup Base (Hot), 235-Grams (Pack of 5) to replace the spices mentioned in this post.

The cooking method in general is similar with traditional hot pot. And it is featured by the bright color, aroma as well as the spicy taste.
Compared with traditional spicy hot pot, this type has a more heavy taste of chicken, giving the vegetables and other side ingredients cooked in stronger aroma.

I strong recommend cook a clear soup base firstly according to the guideline about how to make soup base broth at home.

Doubanjiang–Sichuan / Pixian / Pi Xian Broad Bean Paste 16OZ (454g)  I high recommend using Pi’xian Doubanjiang rather than red oil doubanjiang for making this hot pot.

      Yes, I think you can get most of those ingredients there. For others like doubanjiang, try amazon or you local Asia stores.

    I spent a lot of time searching for ingredients. Long prep time! Worth the cooking time to. Expensive to buy stuff. Cheaper to buy local items & not traditional Chinese items.
