The difference between hot pot and spicy hot pot

Different ways of eating. Hotpot is made by putting food into boiling water and making a gurgling sound. It needs to be cooked while being eaten. Because it is constantly heated, the food is still steaming hot when you eat it. It is usually meat-based. Malatang is usually made by putting the ingredients on bamboo sticks first, then throwing the skewers of food into the pot and boiling them. After all the ingredients are cooked, they are served in a bowl. It is usually vegetables-based. In comparison, Malatang can be regarded as a simplified version of hotpot.

Which is better, hot pot or spicy hot pot?

It depends on your personal taste. Both hotpot and malatang involve throwing food into a soup base and cooking it before eating. Whether it tastes good or not has a lot to do with the flavor of the soup base and the freshness of the ingredients. Everyone has different taste preferences, so it is not possible to simply judge which one is better. Although hotpot can be eaten while being shabu-shabu, and the ingredients are relatively hot, hotpot requires you to put the ingredients into the hotpot and cook them yourself. The control of the heat and the shabu-shabu time will affect the taste of the food. Malatang, on the other hand, is served after the store has cooked all the food. Although the drop in temperature will also affect the taste of the ingredients, malatang is relatively more convenient.

Second: the heating temperature of Malatang is not high, and it will not produce oil smoke and high-temperature oxidation of fat. Compared with high-temperature cooking, it pollutes the air environment less.

Third: The process of rinsing vegetables can remove some oxalic acid, nitrite and pesticides in vegetables. Although some vitamin C is lost, anti-nutritional factors and toxic substances are also reduced. As long as you pay attention to changing the rinsing water regularly and add less salt during the rinsing process, it is a very good cooking method.

Fourth: The process of blanching can remove some oxalic acid, nitrite and pesticides in the vegetables.

Fifth: Malatang's seasoning can be healthy and low in fat. No oil is added when cooking, and the amount of oil added can be reduced according to the customer's requirements when mixing. Generally speaking, the ingredients contain less fat and are relatively low in calories. In contrast, when cooking, there are often three steps of oiling, frying, and pouring oil, and customers cannot choose the amount of oil to be added to the dishes.
