The top ten must-order hot pot dishes are tripe, beef rolls, enoki mushrooms, lettuce, meatballs, duck intestines, yellow throat, potatoes, shrimp paste, and fried crispy pork.

1. Hairy tripe

Hairy tripe is not hot pot. Hairy tripe can be said to be the most delicious meat in hot pot, especially Chongqing hot pot. If Chongqing people eat hot pot without eating hairy tripe, it means they are eating the hot pot in vain. When scalding the tripe, authentic Chongqing people pay attention to "seven ups and eight downs". Put it in the pot for two seconds, take it out for one second, cycle seven to eight times, and dip it in some sauce. The taste is absolutely delicious.

2. Fatty beef rolls

Fat beef rolls are a standard feature of hot pot. The meat is fresh and tender, with alternating fat and thin, and soft in the mouth. Fatty beef is basically a meat dish that can be seen on hot pot tables. It can be eaten lightly in the soup for 5-10 seconds. High-quality fat beef is made from imported grain-fed beef, which is carefully processed through complicated processes such as slowing down, trimming, and slicing. The meat is delicate, fat and lean, fragrant but not greasy.

3. Enoki mushrooms

Because Enoki mushrooms have a compact mushroom shape and do not rot after being cooked for a long time, when rinsing the hot pot, add the Enoki mushrooms and blanch them until they are cooked, and when you pick them up and eat them, part of the soup can be melted. Wrapped and hung in the enoki mushrooms, you can not only experience the smooth and crispy enoki mushrooms, but also taste the delicious hot pot soup base.

Lettuce is a common vegetable and a must-have vegetarian dish when eating hot pot. Lettuce is a very good food that can be eaten raw or cooked. Lettuce has a refreshing taste and is easy to cook. When shabu-shabu is being cooked, lettuce can absorb oil, absorbing most of the heavy oil left in the hotpot soup base after shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-meat, thereby eliminating the greasiness of the soup base.
