Chongqing Ma La Huo Guo (Chongqing Beef Tallow Hot Pot)
Japanese hot pot is fake!? Genuine Chongqing is a magma hot pot with 70% beef fat in soup
Description
The ultimate final form of Hot Pot, completely different from the drinkable broth popularized in Japan. In Chongqing, 60-70% of the pot is pure beef tallow. Packed with massive chilies and Sichuan pepper, it is an insane pot where offal is fried rather than boiled in viscous fat.
