What role does butter play in hot pot

Most red soup hot pots have to add butter to a certain extent to increase the flavor. The quality of butter has a great influence on the taste of the hot pot. Therefore, refining butter is very important.

Choose fresh butter without peculiar smell, wash it, cut it into small pieces, put it into a clean pot, add appropriate amount of clean water, put in garlic and ginger (crushed), pour in cooking wine, boil it on high heat until the water is dry and the fragrance overflows, then turn to low heat, continue to boil until all the oil is out, remove the residue, and you have butter. If you use butter made on the market, you can first put the butter into a pot of boiling water to melt it, pour in cooking wine, boil it on high heat for a while to remove the peculiar smell, filter out impurities, then put the surface grease into another pot, add ginger and garlic, boil it on high heat until the water is dry, pick out the ginger and garlic, and you have clean butter.

Note: You need to control the temperature when refining butter. If the butter is refined too old, it will have no fragrance. If the butter is refined too tender, the butter smell will be too strong and it will also cause a lot of foam to form at the bottom of the hot pot.
