Soup Base for Mala Hot Pot (Sichuan Hot Pot, Mala Huo Guo, Mala Tang, Chuan Chuan Xiang)
$11
You can absolutely make the soup for Sichuan hot pot from scratch, but most times you will probably do as they do in Sichuan when making hot pot at home and use a readymade soup base. The broth is made from Sichuan pepper and chilies and too many other spices and aromatics to count and is long cooked to create a numbing, spicy and all-around powerful soup. And all you have to do is add water!
Remember that the second, smaller bag is a dip for the cooked ingredients and should not be added to the soup. Instead, you can add some of the soup to your small bowl of dry dip to make another dipping sauce, or use the dry dip as is. (We like this chili dip with the ingredients cooked in the mild side of the pot.)
