would any of the prepared hotpot soup base contains it?
Cos from Wiki, it's widely used in China for hotpot and noodle soup base to make them taste "sin" without using any meat to make the soup.
I will probably stay home for hotpot and make my own soup base from now on. Time to try making meatballs from scratch at home! (the only thing that I prefer at hotpot restaurant vs hotpot at home)
Making broth at home is easy and economical .
I use mature free-run chicken, ham hock, simmer unattended
for 3 hours, strain, remove fat, reduce the broth to 25% freeze
until ready to use. Costs about $5 for a hot pot for 4.
To serve, just add hot water and the frozen concentrate to pot, so easy and good
