Description
HAIDILAO Hot Pot Seasoning Mushroom Flavor (150g) is a rich, savory, and completely non-spicy ready-to-use soup base produced by the world-famous Chinese restaurant chain Haidilao. This 100% plant-based paste delivers a deeply umami, earthy broth that acts as a delicate alternative to fiery Sichuan broths. It is engineered to flavor a communal hot pot spread, perfectly coating ingredients like tofu, mushrooms, noodles, and thinly sliced meats.
🥣 Preparation Instructions
The paste is simple to prepare and requires no pre-frying:
1. Combine: Pour the entire 150g packet into a large pot with 1 to 1.5 liters of water (roughly 1,000ml to 1,500ml depending on your desired flavor intensity).
2. Enhance: For a more traditional restaurant experience, add a few fresh scallion pieces, ginger slices, fresh tomatoes, or fresh mushrooms.
3. Boil and Cook: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add your favorite hot pot ingredients (meat, tofu, vegetables, or noodles) and cook until done.
4. Tip: Reviewers from Wai Yee Hong note that it tastes best when paired alongside a secondary dipping sauce, such as a sesame-based Haidilao Hot Pot Dip.
