Mala Hot Pot
Mala hot pot is built around a red, aromatic broth full of dried chiles, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, and spices. Thin meats, tofu, mushrooms, greens, and noodles are cooked at the table so every bite carries the brothβs spicy, numbing fragrance.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Toast the dried chiles and Sichuan peppercorns briefly in a pot, then add ginger, garlic, and hot pot base.
Pour in the stock and simmer until the broth turns red and fragrant.
Arrange the sliced meat, tofu, greens, mushrooms, and noodles on platters for cooking.
Simmer the sturdier vegetables and tofu first, then swish thin meat slices in the bubbling broth until just cooked.
Serve from the pot with a little broth and dipping sauce, keeping the heat at a gentle simmer.
