Slowly, Jiang Zhining smelled the fragrance. Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Zhining immediately put the peppercorns into the pot and stir-fried them evenly, then removed from the heat, covered the pot and simmered it.
After the temperature cools down naturally, the base of the spicy hot pot is ready.
Xixi smelled the scent, moved closer, and sniffed: "It smells so good."
Jiang Zhining chuckled: "Although it smells good, it's very spicy and not suitable for children. It's bad for their stomachs."
When she heard that she couldn't eat it, Xixi pouted sadly and said proudly, "Xixi doesn't want to eat it."
Seeing her cute reaction, Jiang Zhining smiled: "Yes, our Xixi doesn't like it. I'll make tomato pasta for you later, okay?"
Although she didn't know what it was, it didn't stop Xixi from liking it. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes!"
Then Xixi happily kissed her on the cheek: "Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Zhining rubbed her hair lovingly, and her love for Xixi grew day by day.
"What's in this room? It smells so good." Liu Zhilan walked in from outside.
"Sister Zhilan, I just made the base ingredients for the spicy hotpot and am preparing to make it later." Jiang Zhining responded with a smile.
Liu Zhilan was curious: "Spicy hot pot?"
Jiang Zhining said enthusiastically, "Sister, wait here. I'll make it now. I'll bring a bowl back for Sister Zhilan later. It goes really well with rice."
Liu Zhilan was happy: "That's great."
Jiang Zhining asked Xixi to go play aside and then prepared to make spicy hot pot.
The soul of spicy hotpot is the base. Once the base is ready, the rest will be easy.
Cook the lettuce, cauliflower, lotus root, and other side dishes in a wok. Then, heat the freshly fried base ingredients in the wok. Once done, add the cooked vegetables and stir-fry together.
Liu Zhilan was surprised: "This smells even better."
When the stir-frying time was almost up, Jiang Zhining brought out the dish.
"Sister, try it and see how it tastes. It may be a little spicy, and I prefer spicy food." Jiang Zhining handed her the chopsticks.
Liu Zhilan took a bite and her eyes lit up: "It's great, I've never eaten such delicious food."
After receiving this answer, Jiang Zhining smiled brightly.
First step, success!
