Everything About Hot Pot 👲

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 11:15:00 +0000

What is Hot Pot?

Hot pot generally refers to a cooking method where a pot is used as the utensil, heated by a heat source, and filled with water or soup base to cook a variety of foods. The essence of hot pot lies in the fact that, unlike other dishes already prepared on the table, people put their favorite vegetables, meat into the pot while waiting for them to cook, and then ladle them out to eat after they are cooked, so the food always goes into the mouth piping hot.

In addition to the traditional sesame dipping sauce, the soup base is also crucial. Spicy, salty, fresh—people can choose according to their dietary habits and preferences, suitable for all ages. Especially in the cold winter, it is an excellent choice for a meal.

Origin of Hot Pot

There are two theories about the origin of hot pot. One claims that hot pot existed during the Warring States period, with pottery pots being used. The other theory suggests that hot pot originated in the Han Dynasty, with "dou" referring to hot pot. Archaeological findings in the burial artifacts of the Western Han Marquis of Haihun revealed physical evidence of hot pots. It can be seen that hot pot has a history of more than 2000 years in China.

Different Flavors of Hot Pot

The mentioned spicy, salty, and fresh flavors are just general descriptions. Specifically, one of the most important factors influencing the taste of hot pot is the soup base. Soup base can be categorized into the following types: plain soup base, spicy soup base, yin-yang (Double-flavor) hot pot, mushroom soup base, and tomato soup base.

The plain soup base is crafted by simmering chicken bones, pork bones, or beef bones in a pot over low heat for several hours. It serves as the most fundamental soup base, offering a light and refreshing taste. This versatile base is suitable for pairing with various ingredients and boasts high nutritional value.

Conversely, the spicy soup base skillfully blends spiciness and saltiness. Generally, spicy soup base is most renowned in Sichuan and Chongqing, where people have a penchant for spicy flavors due to climatic conditions. The exquisite interplay between the aroma of chili and the saltiness provides an unforgettable taste experience for enthusiasts of spicy cuisine.

Yin-Yang hot pot combines both a plain soup base and a spicy soup base, making it a highly popular dining choice. It utilizes a unique copper pot, divided into two halves by copper plates, creating a yin-yang symbol. One side holds the plain soup base, while the other side contains the spicy soup base. Diners can add their preferred food to the pot for cooking. This eating method significantly achieves harmony between those who enjoy spiciness and those who do not. Despite using a single copper pot, both preferences can be accommodated without interference.

Mushroom soup base is prepared with a focus on wild mushroom ingredients, offering an exceptionally delicious and nutritious taste. It is also suitable for individuals who do not favor spicy flavors. Yunnan Province in China is known for having the most varieties of wild mushrooms, including chicken mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, and boletus, among nearly 100 species that can be cooked in the hot pot. This type of hot pot is associated with health benefits such as immune system enhancement, anti-tumor properties, anti-cancer effects, and blood sugar reduction.

Tomato soup base offers a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavors, coupled with a smooth texture that sets it apart from traditional spicy hot pots. Chefs meticulously prepare the soup base by simmering several fresh tomatoes, allowing their essence to infuse the soup through slow cooking. The resulting aroma is an instant delight to the senses, whetting the appetite. Notably, the various nutritional components of tomatoes contribute to the hot pot, enriching it with essential vitamins, magnesium, iron, and other trace elements.

How about it? Are you eager to give Chinese hot pot a try?

If you haven't had the chance to visit China and try hot pot, don't worry – sencha.lv has brought the authentic taste right to you: the secret soup bases. Once the water is boiling, just pour in the soup base you like and add your favorite things – cabbage, potatoes, noodles, salami, chicken, ribs, seafood, and more. Then, you can enjoy a quick, tasty, and nutritious feast! With the cold winter here, invite friends and family to gather around the table and enjoy a warm and hearty hot pot together.

Christmas Market in Latvia ☃️

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 18:18:00 +0000

Have you ever heard that the world's first Christmas tree originated in Riga in 1510? For this reason alone, it's essential to fully experience the Christmas atmosphere of this city this year, and the Christmas market is an excellent way to feel the warmth of this festive season.

After the pandemic, traditional Christmas markets have finally returned to our lives. In the center of Riga, two markets are particularly worth visiting.

Dome Cathedral Market

Starting on December 3rd this year 2023 and ending on January 7th next year 2024, the most traditional Christmas market will be held on the square near the Riga Dome Cathedral in the old town, accompanying everyone through this wintertime.

At the market, you can buy mulled wine, gingerbread, roasted almonds, and other winter specialty foods, as well as coffee, smoked meat, other everyday foods, and of course, other traditional Latvian foods. In addition, various handmade crafts, jewelry, and other items are also worth paying attention to.

The small colorful lights everywhere, the red and white striped ceilings, the bustling crowd, and the sounds of chatting make this winter not lonely but instead filled with a warm feeling. If you also visit this market, feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.

Riga Nativity of Christ Cathedral Market

If you've ever transferred buses at Esplanade, from the end of November to the beginning of next year, make sure to take some time to visit again. Apart from the delicious mulled wine, wool products, decorations, and wooden items, there's also a stunning Ferris wheel. Visitors can see some of Riga's unique aspects from a different perspective at a height of 15 meters.

Additionally, a highlight not to be missed by both adults and children is the Rabbit Kingdom – a spacious enclosure home to dozens of lively and adorable rabbits. Watching them run freely in front of people, you'll find your spirit gradually healing. Of course, visitors have the opportunity to feed the rabbits, but you need to purchase specially peeled carrots from the shops. If you want to experience this joy, remember to bring some cash, as the carrots can only be purchased with cash.

Of course, besides these two Christmas markets, there are many other great places worth visiting and exploring. The ubiquitous light decorations, and various Christmas-related items displayed in supermarkets, all remind us that 2023 will quietly bid us farewell amidst warmth.

Tang Yuan 🍚 汤圆 Chinese Glutinous Rice Balls

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 11:33:00 +0000

On Spring Equinox, farmers in China have a tradition of taking the time off and eating glutinous rice balls. Additional rice balls are stuck on lengthy bamboo skewers and positioned around their fields to prevent birds from eating their crops. This exercise is known as “stick the hen’s beak.”

Depending on the region of China, Tang Yuan can be served in lots of exceptional ways. The most effective manner is to feature a touch of cooking liquid in the bowl. This facilitates holding the Tang Yuan heat for longer hence the filling stays runny.
In other regions of China, another famous way to serve Tang Yuan is to add thick syrup manufactured from darkish brown sugar and then sprinkled it with toasted soybean powder. Or Ginger syrup is a very popular serving of liquid.

So, how to make this sweet, nutty, runny filling sealed with a slippery, chewy wrapper, Tang Yuan (Chinese glutinous rice balls)?

Ingredients you will need are:

For the filling
    ▢ 80 g black sesame seeds
    ▢ 35 g sugar - or to taste
    ▢ 35 g softened butter - or coconut oil, lard

For the dough
    ▢ 120 g glutinous rice flour
    ▢ 45 g boiling water
    ▢ 60 g room temperature water - or beetroot juice

Instructions

Prepare the filling

Toast black sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over low heat until they plump up and become very easy to break when crushed with your fingers.
Once completely cool, put the toasted black sesame seeds in a food processor. Grind them with sugar until they turn into a soft, shiny paste.
Add butter (or coconut oil/lard). Mix to combine then keep refrigerated until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Divide the paste into 20 portions. Shape each piece into a ball. Put them back in the fridge while preparing the dough.

Make the dough

In a mixing bowl, pour boiling water into glutinous rice flour while stirring with a spatula. Then add room temperature water (or beetroot juice for a pink dough) little by little.
Knead with your hand until a smooth, soft dough forms. Adjust its consistency by adding more water or flour. If you are not using the dough straight away, wrap it with cling film to avoid drying out.
Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces then roll each into a ball.

Assemble Tang Yuan (please refer to the video below)

Flatten a piece of dough into a round wrapper with your fingers.
Place a ball of filling in the middle. Gently push the wrapper upwards to wrap the filling tightly. Seal at the top completely.

Cook Tang Yuan

Bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Gently slide in some Tang Yuan. If necessary, cook in batches as the balls expand while cooking so do not crowd the pot.
Push the balls around with the back of a spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook over medium-high heat. Once all the balls start to float on the surface, boil for a further minute.
Dish out (along with some cooking liquid) and serve warm. You may also make some ginger syrup separately as the serving liquid.

Store Tang Yuan

Freeze Tang Yuan right after they are assembled. Lay them in a single layer on a tray lined with parchment paper to freeze. Once totally frozen, put them in an air-tight bag and store them in the freezer.
To cook frozen Tang Yuan, follow the same cooking procedure (do not defrost).

Korean Gungjung Tteokbokki ( 👑 Royal Court Rice Cake)

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 14:33:00 +0000

Gungjung Tteokbokki is a Korean royal court cuisine that originated from the royal palace in the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910). Gungjung means “palace or royal court” in English. As the name suggests, it was part of the royal cuisine and regarded as a high-class dish – an interesting contrast to the modern spicy version which is pretty much street food.

Unlike typical Tteokbokki (Korean spicy rice cakes), Gungjung Tteokbokki is not spicy but rather savoury and slightly salty. This deliciously colourful dish will be a great addition to your lunar New Year feast or Christmas Party!

Let's Make It!

Ingredients:

450g thin garaetteok/tteokbokki (Get yours here or here)
120g lean beef sirloin, eye round, chuck tender or rib eye
3 or 4 shiitake mushrooms fresh or soaked if dried
1/2 medium zucchini (about 4 ounces) You can also use garlic chives and/or colorful bell peppers.
1 medium carrot cut into thin, 2-inch strips
1/2 medium sweet onion thinly sliced
1 to 2 scallions cut into 2-inch lengths
salt
cooking oil for stir-frying

Sauce:

3 tablespoons soy sauce (Get yours here)
1 tablespoon rice wine or mirin
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil (Get yours here)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (Get yours here)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
pinch pepper

Instructions

Mix the sauce ingredients well and set aside. Bring water to a boil in a medium size pot. Add the rice cake pieces. Boil until all the pieces float to the top. The time required will vary depending on the condition of rice cakes. The rice cakes will be very soft when cooked, but they will become harder as they cool. Drain them out with a sieve. Do not rinse. Mix with 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce. Set aside.

Thinly slice the beef into about 2-inch long strips. Cut stems off the mushrooms and slice into thin strips. Place the beef and mushrooms in a bowl, and mix in a tablespoon of the prepared sauce. Marinate while preparing the other ingredients.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and then thinly slice crosswise and slightly diagonally to make the cuts longer. Generously sprinkle salt over zucchini slices, and set aside for 10 - 15 minutes. Squeeze out excess liquid from the zucchini by hand. In a lightly heated and oiled skillet, stir fry the onion, carrot, and zucchini over medium high heat, about 2 minutes. Add the scallion at the end. Transfer to a bowl.
In the same skillet, cook the beef and mushrooms over medium high heat until the meat is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the rice cakes and stir fry for another minute or two. Turn the heat off.

Add the rice cakes to the bowl with the vegetables, along with the optional ginkgo or pine nuts, and the remaining sauce. Toss well to combine everything well. Adjust the seasoning with additional soy sauce or sugar as necessary. Serve warm.
