Sichuan Hot Pot
Sichuan Hot Pot is a popular Chinese dish known for its bold flavors and spicy broth. Diners cook a variety of ingredients, such as thinly sliced meats, vegetables, and tofu, in a simmering pot of broth at the table. The broth is often infused with Sichuan peppercorns, which provide a unique numbing sensation, along with chili peppers for heat.
The experience of eating Sichuan Hot Pot is social and interactive, as friends and family gather around the pot to cook and share food. Different regions may offer variations in broth and ingredients, but the essence of communal dining remains central to this beloved dish.
