A 'mushroom-packed pot' base hugely popular among health-conscious Chinese youth. A paste heavily condensing extracts of Niu Gan Jun (Porcini), shiitake, and button mushrooms.

Trivia

Haidilao spread the elements of Yunnan's regional 'Wild Mushroom Hot Pot' nationwide as an easy soup base. A masterpiece soup that makes you realize China's massive mushroom consumption, with an umami approach slightly different from Japan.

Eating tips & etiquette

Pork or chicken pairs best. Boiling massive mushrooms in this broth doubles the umami. Making Zosui (rice porridge) at the end creates a mushroom risotto so delicious you'll lose your words.
