Xiabu Xiabu Plain Hot Pot Base

Description
A home soup base from 'Xiabu Xiabu', a solo-counter hot pot chain boasting massive share in Northern China (esp. Beijing). Unlike Sichuan's ultra-spicy or heavy beef tallow, this is a very light, golden clear broth (Qing Tang) adding shiitake and goji berries to chicken/pork broth.
