Difference between marinated hotpot and general hotpot

In general, most of the traditional old hot pots are manually fried, and only some of the most basic auxiliary ingredients are added, such as: chili peppers, peppercorns, ginger, butter, etc., so spicy and fresh is the characteristic of Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot. Marinated hot pot is a little different, in the bottom of the pot when the sauce is added to the marinade, so the bottom of the pot of marinated hot pot is not spicy, more suitable for the first time to taste the hot pot of foreign tourists.

Halo-flavored hot pot was documented how to make it during the Northern Wei Dynasty; there are two general origin statements for hot pot, one says it was during the Three Kingdoms period or the Sui Yang Emperor era in China, and the other says it began in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
