Spicy skewer hot pot, a beloved street food sensation, combines bold flavors with interactive dining. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting this delicious dish at home.
Ingredients Prep:
- Skewers: Choose proteins like beef, chicken, shrimp, or tofu, and vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, and potatoes. Cut into bite-sized pieces and thread onto bamboo skewers.
- Broth Base: Sauté 3 tbsp oil with 2 tbsp doubanjiang (broad bean paste), 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns, and sliced ginger/garlic until fragrant. Add 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, and dried chili peppers. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Cooking & Serving:
- Assemble: Arrange skewers in a single layer in a hot pot or large skillet. Pour the hot broth over them, ensuring they’re partially submerged.
- Simmer: Cook over medium heat for 5–8 minutes, until proteins are cooked through and vegetables tender.
- Customize: Serve with dipping sauces like sesame paste, garlic soy, or vinegar chili oil. Garnish with cilantro or sesame seeds.
Tips: For extra richness, add beef bone broth or a splash of mushroom seasoning. Adjust spice levels by controlling doubanjiang and chili amounts. Enjoy this flavorful, communal meal with friends and family!
