I’ve had beef hot pot before and really liked it quite a bit. Hot pot a lot of the time consists of a pot and a little gas burner. In the pot is broth and vegetables – you add meat or fish that cooks in the pot quickly and lends the fat to the broth, making it a bit more hearty. Very curious how this translates in this instant variety. Let’s check out another variety by Wugudaochang!
Here’s the back of the package (click image to enlarge). Not sure whether is contains meat or not. To prepare, add everything to 600ml boiling water and cook 3 minutes. Stir and enjoy!
The noodle block.
The soup base powder.
A light powder with some bits of vegetable in there.
A paste sachet.
Thick stuff.
A large pouch.
Lots of bamboo shoots!
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added beef and white onion. The noodles came out very nice – they have a nice light chew to them and are soft in nature. The broth has a spiciness – black pepper notes – and a nice beef taste along with a sour taste. The bamboo shoots are excellent – a light pickled taste which paired perfectly with the broth. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 6936986831083.
