The Golden Rule of Eating Hot Pot Noodles Alone

Who said fast food can't have a sense of ceremony? Instant Hot Pot Noodles are actually a clever combination of "fast food+hot pot". To extract the essence, remember the three golden rules:

1. Cook the ingredients first, then cook the noodles
Don't follow the old trick of instant noodles. Bring 300ml of water to a boil in a pot. First, add a hot pot base (usually butter or clear oil base) and simmer for 1 minute to let the spices come to life. Then, add the flatbread. This way, noodles can absorb the deep flavor of the soup instead of floating on the surface.

2. Arrange side dishes according to their "cooking endurance"
Boil for 1 minute: luncheon meat, bean skin, fungus
Boil for 30 seconds: Fat beef rolls, crispy sausages
10 seconds before turning off the heat: Shredded lettuce, cilantro, and garlic sprouts
This way, all ingredients achieve their best taste at the same time.

3. Pour a spoonful of vinegar and sesame oil out of the pot
The soul of hotpot noodles is to "relieve greasiness and enhance fragrance". After turning off the heat, pour a circle of vinegar along the edge of the bowl and drop a few drops of sesame oil. The sour aroma can instantly balance the oil and double the depth of the soup base.
