The Chongqing hot pot base has a pretty authentic flavor; you can smell the aroma of beef tallow and chili as soon as you open the package. Once boiled, the broth is rich and flavorful, with a noticeable numbing and spicy kick, but it's not just plain spicy; it also has a hint of Sichuan peppercorn numbing sensation and layers of spice flavor. It's great for simmering meat, tripe, or vegetables, giving you that authentic Chongqing hot pot experience. It's a little oily, but that's what makes it even more fragrant. A single packet is perfect for a casual family gathering at home, creating a great atmosphere. Overall, the flavor is strong enough for those who love spicy food.
