Chinese spicy hot pot recipe using Chuanqi seasoning please?

Question

Could anyone give me a recipe using Chuanqi Chinese hot pot seasoning ? using ingredients easily got,

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There are several, both dried and chil sauce based, XO sauce and even some chili bean paste, I go to a HotPot restaurant here in Toronto Canada that has it and I love the complex flavour.

Stock wise, they told me it is a combo of chicken and pork, as standard for most Chinese restaurants in all soups with noodles and meats, I prefer the meat meal, the shrimp and fish and fish balls are o.k, but you have to be an acomplished HotPot eater to maneover them.

I would get a jars of Chili garlic sauce, Hot Chili bean paste and either some chinese chili flakes or whole chilis broken in half, and float them in, I prefer Thai chils for mine, theyhave more kick and add a tang that the others lack. Make sure the stock is seasoned with Shaoxhin wine, sugar and garlic, even a piece or 2 of star anise.

Answer 2

The seasoning of Chuanqi Spicy hot pot is very complicated and I wonder whether you can get all of them in your area.

Soy bean paste + chili soy bean paste (dou pan paste) + dried chili + ginger (minced) + garlic (minced)+ leek (cut into 1 inch in length) Chinese yellow wine + salt + lard + butter + Szechuan pepper (a must) + pepper + clove + fennel + star anise + Cinnamon + rock sugar (break into powder) + Chicken & pork & duck stock 1500 cc

Direction:

1) Heat pot over high heat, add butter and lard till melted, reduce heat to medium, stir fry dried chili and Szechuan pepper 10 to 20 seconds, remove, set aside.  

2) Add rock sugar into pot,  reduce heat to low, stir fry till sugar melted and golden, stir in ginger, garlic and leek  and spices, fry quickly for 30 seconds,  (mix the bean paste with wine), add the bean paste and chili bean paste in the pot, turn heat to high, stir fry quickly till fraquant.

3) Pour the stock in the pot, bring to boil, skimmer the surface of the stock. Adjust the taste.
