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.

  1. Bring all ingredients to a boil and let simmer for 2 hours.
