Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Slice the star ingredient, 'Ya Xue' (Duck blood jelly), thickly. Blanch it alongside beef honeycomb tripe and omasum with scallions and ginger to completely erase offal odor.
- Heat beef tallow in a wok, fry massive amounts of Pixian Doubanjiang, chilies, Sichuan pepper, garlic, ginger, and Chongqing Hot Pot base to create a hellishly red broth.
- Pour in stock, season with salt, soy, and wine.
- Briefly boil bean sprouts and wood ears, laying them at the bottom of a serving bowl. Boil the duck blood, tripe, spam, and quail eggs in the broth until cooked.
- Transfer everything to the bowl. Just like Shui Zhu, pile raw chili and Sichuan pepper on top, and violently splash smoking-hot oil over it to seal the aroma.

Trivia
[Trivia] 'Mao' means rough/mixed in Chongqing dialect, 'Xue Wang' means blood jelly. Originally a cheap street food boiling discarded slaughterhouse cuts, it is now the pride of Chongqing served in high-end restaurants.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Japanese diners often shudder at 'Blood Jelly', but it has zero liver-like odor or chalkiness; it is smoother than silken tofu. Eat this spicy, piping hot 'blood pudding' while blowing air to cool your mouth.
