📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Hot pot is said to come from Chongqing in Sichuan, and its hallmark is a fiery red broth built on beef tallow, chilies, and Sichuan pepper. Today the 'yuanyang' pot, split with a mild white broth, is also standard. Groups gather around the pot and swish ingredients through the broth — a dish that sums up China's dining-out culture.
