Description
HAIDILAO Hot Pot Dipping Sauce (Original Flavor, 120g) is a classic, savory Chinese dipping sauce designed to bring the signature, high-quality taste of the famous Haidilao restaurant chain right to your home. This pre-made, ready-to-eat condiment features a rich, smooth, and nutty profile, serving as the perfect complement to cooked meats, seafood, tofu, and vegetables.
Product Overview & Flavor Profile
• Taste: A creamy, aromatic, and deeply satisfying blend dominated by nutty roasted sesame and peanut notes, rounded out with mild Chinese spices and savory umami.
• Texture: Smooth and thick, allowing it to coat hot pot ingredients effectively.
• Versatility: While traditionally served in a small bowl alongside hot pot, it doubles as an excellent dressing for noodles, a mix-in for vegetables, or a baseline sauce for barbecues and dumplings.

The authentic formula relies heavily on traditional pastes to achieve its distinct creaminess.
• Core Ingredients: Water, peanut paste, chive flower sauce, sesame paste, fermented tofu/bean curd, soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, and flavor enhancers.
• Allergen Alerts: Contains peanuts, sesame, soybeans, and wheat/gluten. It may also contain traces of molluscs (oyster extract) and egg depending on the specific factory line.

How to Serve and Store

• Storage: Keep the unopened pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, any leftovers must be refrigerated and consumed within a few days.
Good to Know
• Nut Alert: The heavy peanut and sesame concentration makes this highly unsafe for individuals with severe nut allergies.
• Separation: Natural oil separation can occur in the packet; massage the pouch gently before opening to re-emulsify the sauce.
