i make my own sichuan soup base: goal is to fry it and heat up all the dry ingredients to get the flavors out.

aznkev03: never thought about getting herbal from the chinese shops, that's epic. I'm doing that this thursday.

dipping sauce is pretty much the same.
u can add anything. I make my own xo sauce so i make sure i put that shit in there.

spicy is best, tastes just like the restaurant's

anyone know where i can buy an inexpensive hotbox machine that is electric???

i had a mini fire in my house a few weeks ago with those gas ones lmao


thought i was gonna burn down the house when the table/machine was on fire

:rukidding: pics or didnt happen

having said that, electric ones are much "weaker" for hotpot.

Where can I find this?

Many Asian super markets have it . Osaka, t&t, market 2000
