Overview

Archaeological data show that the cavemen at the top of the mountain about 18,000 years ago have broken away from the stage of preserving natural fire and mastered the technology of making artificial fire. The ancestors discovered the various benefits of fire. Warming out from the cold is the most instinctive reaction of human beings; because of the cold, people need to sit around the fire to keep warm. When he accidentally discovered that fire makes food more delicious when cooked. So the wise ancestors invented the earliest tripod about 10,000 years ago, which was a tripod with three or four legs. The ancestors lit a fire at the bottom of the tripod; they threw all the edible food, such as meat, into the tripod and let the food cook into a large pot of food called soup. This was the earliest hot pot. The emergence of copper and iron not only formed a revolution in utensils, but was also very similar to modern pots. Copper pots and pottery casseroles are still the most practical and common hot pot utensils, and the large tripod eventually became a symbol of power. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that hot pot really flourished. On the tenth day of the first lunar month in the forty-eighth year of Qianlong’s reign in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong hosted 530 tables of palace hot pot. The grand occasion could be said to be the most popular hot pot in China at that time. When Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty came to the throne, he held a banquet for thousands of old people, using 1,550 hot pots. The scale was the pinnacle and astonishing. Although the containers, preparation methods and seasonings of today's hot pot have experienced thousands of years of evolution, one thing in common has not changed, that is, using fire to cook the pot, using water (soup) to conduct heat, and cooking (rinsing) the food. Hot pot is such a food that is close to the people. It appears in restaurants, families, food stalls and other places regardless of high or low. The whole family sits happily around the dining table in a warm and peaceful way, and friends gather together in groups laughing. Very Jianghu can be both elegant and chic. Beef has always been a quaint thing in my eyes. The green forest heroes in Shuibo Liangshan only eat beef. Haha, and it is high-quality yellow beef... Let's realize the quaint dream on the tip of the tongue~ Original by GODOFMERCY. This article is my own creation based on real experience; the content is for reference only and is purely personal preference. Please do not comment unless you like it. Some pictures and knowledge come from the Internet. If you need to solve specific problems [especially in the fields of law, medicine, etc.], it is recommended that you consult professionals in the relevant fields in detail. Today we are not following the usual rules and trying new tricks. It is especially suitable when the seasonings at home are not available and the ingredients are not enough. Like a timely rain, a pot of water turns into the delicious beef aroma. It’s a beauty to eat a different hot pot~ A steaming pot of beef brisket and radish hot pot with fragrant aroma was born. Okay, let’s decipher it together! Here’s what you need to do: Start by preparing a good brisket. Beef brisket is the soft muscle in the belly of the cow and near the ribs. It refers to the piece of meat with tendons, meat and oil. This is just a general term. Beef brisket, as the most delicious part of the cow, is perfect for making hot pot. The characteristic of cooking a good pot of beef brisket is boiling it; the longer it is boiled, the more fragrant it becomes. You know, this is just an introduction to the medicine~ What we are eating is not the meat, but the rich soup base where the essence lies. The most enjoyable thing is that the beef brisket is cooked with radish. After adding radish, the beef brisket is easy to cook and tender, and it is very delicious! Today’s beef brisket and radish hot pot has three main points. First: Prepare the side dishes for hot pot. This step must be done first. Second: Make the stock pot base for hot pot. The taste of the bottom of the pot depends on the ingredients you choose that day. The pork ribs should match the soup base of the ribs, and the beef should of course match the soup base of the beef, and so on. The hot pot soup base is very important. I usually put the cooked ingredients with the same taste into the original soup with the same taste. Another point is that hot pot needs to be heated by an open flame during the entire eating process, and the soup base will naturally burn out. At this time, adding boiled water will greatly reduce the taste, and it will feel lighter and lighter the more you eat it. At this time, add the diluted thick soup base to keep the original taste, which is called a beauty~ Third: People are lazy in winter, and tigers also take a nap, not to mention housewives who are preparing for war for a long time. Just be a little lazy and cook more hot pot ingredients for later use. It can be eaten for three to four days in the refrigerator, and you can sleep until you wake up naturally every day ~ haha!
