Tripe Hot Pot

Last updated 2026-11-14 — "Tripe Hot Pot": This refers to the most beloved and popular spicy red broth hot pot in Sichuan cuisine. Its broth is numbing, spicy, rich, and aromatic, stimulating the appetite. The broth is made from beef stock combined with over ten ingredients such as beef tallow, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, rock sugar, and spices, resulting in a deep red color and intense flavor. A steaming pot of bubbling red broth is truly mouthwatering; you can choose from hundreds of meat and vegetable ingredients to cook and eat yourself, enjoying a hot pot-style buffet around the pot. It’s numbing, spicy, and piping hot—eating it makes you sweat profusely and tingles your taste buds, yet the flavor is endlessly satisfying. It will definitely leave you wanting to come back for more. Each diner should also prepare a dipping sauce made with sesame oil, mashed garlic, and MSG. Dip the cooked food in this sauce before eating—it helps cool down the heat, enhances the flavor, and balances the spiciness. Currently, the most famous and distinctive hot pot restaurants in Chengdu include Huangcheng Laoma Hot Pot, Shizi Lou Hot Pot, Bazhi Hot Pot, Chongqing Laozao Hot Pot, and Tan Yu Tou Hot Pot.
