Hot Pot Lunar New Year Recipe

Spicy Hot Malatang soup Base Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon spicy red chili oil
- 1 ½ cups broth (you can use vegetable, chicken or beef)
- 2 tablespoon peanut butter
- 3 cups water
- 5 dried red chili peppers (you can add even more if you want your Malatang to be extra spicy)
- 2 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 5 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
- 3 bay leaves
- ¼ cup paprika
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
- \¼ cup chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 3 star anise
- ¼ cup cooking wine
- ¼ cup of Sichuan peppercorns
- ¼ cup Chinese chili bean paste
- ¼ cup Chinese fermented soybeans
- 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
Directions
Note: you will need an induction ready cooking pot that is relatively shallow (under 4 inches) OR a dual hot pot with a built-in separator to make two different soup base flavours at the same time (typically it’s a spicy hot malatang and a tomato bone broth).
If you have a hard time sourcing the ingredients to make the soup base yourself, you can easily find ready to serve soup base packs at your local Asian grocery store or online.
- Bring all ingredients to a boil and let simmer for 2 hours.
