Authentic Chinese hot pot soup base seasoning 7.05 oz (200g), Haorenjia Sichuan hotpot broth sauce spicy

Good stuff. But man only use one. I did two in a big pot because I couldn’t taste the heat at first BIIIIIGGG mistake lol. Otherwise very good. Good heat, good flavor

Fantastic for homemade hotpot, it really tastes like restaurant quality when combined with a good pork broth, lots of numbing spice is there. We call it the 'spicy soap of doom'. Recommend using it at half the recommended amount at first-1 square for 1qt of stock, and that's plenty spicy for most.

I lived in Chengdu for two years and met my now-husband there when he was an expat. We LOVED hotpot and had it all over Sichuan. This is delicious, but it is definitely spicier than anything I ever had in China. I used two packs of vegetable broth and it was still so overwhelmingly spicy I could only eat half of the veggies I cooked. My husband powered through, but he felt the same way I did. It ended up not being enjoyable after a few bites. I think I would quarter the block or use a lot more broth next time to get the spice level to what I was used to. We added Asian cabbage, tofu skin, lotus root, potato, broccoli, cauliflower, bamboo shoots, rice dumplings, and mushrooms. The first few bites were like being back at my favorite restaurant outside the school I taught at, but then it became unbearable. Either my taste buds have changed, or this is just outrageously spicy. Either way, I’ll get it and make it again, I will just be using less per pot!

Only use half!! Goes a long way

I was a little hesitant to buy these since I was brand new to the hotpot world and bought a pot for myself. they came more quickly then expected, it does say to use soup stock (i used chicken) to help the flavors a little bit which makes sense, but man do these pack a punch, just used 1 in about 3 cups of stock and 1 cup of water, even tho it says they are for 2 cups of liquid, deff use 4 cups per 1 cube it was still so good. and my mouth was so numbing and tingly from the spice but that's what I was hopping for (Getting things that are advertised as spicy and then they aren't is the wooorst) I WILL be stocking up on these again!

Delicious!!! Left over used to marinate chicken.

I wanted to love it and it smelled just like the hot pot restaurant but the numbing sensation was so intense it was hard to enjoy it past the first couple bites.

We love using this when we do hot pot at home.
