I'm glad you made a brave attempt. Here is a little tip. After touching raw meat with chopsticks, it is best to put it in the pot and cook it for a few seconds before using chopsticks. All locals do this to avoid diarrhea. Or you can ask the restaurant for an extra pair of chopsticks dedicated to raw meat.

@yingwang7597

Ай бұрын

You also can use the 🥄 already there.

Since the meat slices are usually very thin when eating hot pot. When the soup is boiling, you only need to put in the beef for 10-15 seconds, pork for 20-30 seconds, vegetables for around 3 minutes. If you order chicken, they usually come in chunks. You might throw them in the pot and let it boil for around 3 minutes. And use that big metal spoon thing with holes more often to fish out the lost items. Hope you guys will enjoy hot pot even more next time. Also, the reason they put in sesame oil in the condiment is because the sesame oil can neutralize some of the spice so you can eat more.

People tend to make up their own dipping sauce; there's usually a table full of different condiments and sauces so the diners can help themselves, but you weren't to know, hence the waitress did that for you. As soon as the meat changes its colour, it's cooked, usually less than a minute. Apart from the vegetable and noodles, pick some seafood too next time, such as prawn and squid. Love your videos 👍.

There are many kinds of hot pot in China, but Sichuan, Chongqing hot pot is the most famous, but they are more spicy, not spicy Chaoshan hot pot is also very delicious.😊

Finally, I've seen a blogger who used the right dipping sauce for their first hot pot experience. You guys are awesome. I've seen many other foreign bloggers eat directly from the spicy pot on their first try, and that can be extremely spicy. The correct way is to dip the food in the sauce after taking it out of the spicy pot. That's the proper and delicious way to enjoy it.BTW, the tomato pot doesn't need this step.

You guys are very brave to try that out. Well done.

Next time when you do hotpot, order a meat combo and a veg combo which basically include everything. Remember the name of the ones you specially like and order more next time. You can also try mushroom combo if you like. Don't need to order spicy soup base. Just tomato or other non spicy is good. As others already mentioned, dip thin meat in the soup for 10 seconds. Vegetable can be cooked a little longer like 5 minutes. The better way to eat hotpot is to have more people, You can order a lot of varieties. Everybody can try everything. Very fun.

Across the screen,it can blew my head off.

Fortunately, you chose a yuan yang pot, so the spiciness won't be too overwhelming right away. You should wait until all the base ingredients you see have completely melted and the pot starts boiling before you begin eating. Different foods require different cooking times. For example, thinly sliced meats cook quickly. You can use chopsticks to hold the meat in the broth for a short time, and once the redness disappears, you can take it out to eat. Cooking it for too long will make it tough and not as tasty. Visibly, you both look much more relaxed than when you first arrived. Your smiles are radiant. Thank you for visiting China.

I saw your videos on the Chinese version of TiK ToK. I like you guys very much. So I came to follow your channel on KZread. I recommend you to go to Xi'an next time. There are a lot of delicious food there. It also has a deep historical heritage.

Amazing guys！ The sesame oil dip source is very common when having Sichuan hotpot. It takes some chilli oil coated on food away to protect your mouth and stomach, while all the flavors remain.

Tofu, taro and lotus root are also good for hotpot, fish ball & meat ball are good too, and you don’t have to cook(boil) them for too long, a minute for tofu, a few minutes for taro and over 5 minutes for the lotus roots, fish balls and meat balls. As for those slices meat, less than a minute( around 10 to 20 seconds is fine).

The hotpot chopsticks are long so that they can protect your hands from the hot pot.😊Try to take adventage of them.

Actually, we put a little bit of everything at one time, meat, lotus, bamboo, tofu, meatballs, stomach... we wait them to be cooked and take them into the dipping sauce. Then we add something else into the pot. It's also good to add some broth into the dipping sauce(use the two spoons, filter spoon upon another to get clear soup)
