Description

Trivia
A massive long-seller since the 1990s. Before the spicy Sichuan hot pot boom, this dip supported Northern winter tables like a 'Taste of Mom'. Variations like 'Seafood' and 'Spicy' exist, but this 'Ma Jiang' (original) is the absolute king.
Eating tips & etiquette
The convenience of handing out one cup per person to open and dip directly is supreme. The sauce is very thick and stiff, so adding a spoonful of hot pot broth into the cup to thin it makes it coat the meat better.
