7 March, Sichuan hot pot
The mouth-watering hot pots of Sichuan are as famous overseas as they are in China, and the hot flavour is enough to heat up a cold midwinter evening or to let loose rivers of sweat on a summer afternoon. I gave it my first try last night, together with a few local friends.
As the soup bubbled slowly over a gas burner(煤气炉) in the middle of the table,its surface was covered with a beautiful layer of chillies, Sichuan peppers, spring onions and red oil. Slowly at first, and then faster and faster, we tipped plates of fresh meat, fish and vegetables into the pot. △ The hot flavour quickened our laughter and conversation, making the meal the perfect way to relax with friends.
Sichuan hot pots are perfect for the damp, foggy climate in which they were invented. They are believed to have started off in the late Qing Dynasty as a way for boatmen on the Yangtze ['jæŋzɪ] River to keep warm during the cold and wet winters. In the beginning, the delicious dish was made simply[(强调简单)仅仅,只,不过] by boiling vegetables,chillies and Sichuan peppers in water.
△Over time, it has expanded to include multiple options of soups, vegetables, meats and sauces, appealing to people of different tastes. △What I love best about Sichuan hot pots is that they offer a great opportunity to socialize with friends sinc
