I was craving hot pot for some reason. I hadn’t had it since I was in Sichuan, and I didn’t
have anyone to eat dinner with. So I
went to the grocery store and searched out the thinly sliced bits of dead sheep
and the seasonings. I bought some
vegetables and came home to experiment.
Weirdly, the directions were written in English. They were Chinglish, but understandable. So I boiled the oil, put in the seasoning,
and waiting for the meat and veggies to be wonderfully greasy and
seasoned.
It was actually really good.
If I could manage to bring some of the seasoning home, I would to share.
Because everyone should experience the spicy-ness of Sichuan. Don't worry; I will never bring pig brains home.
