Brass hot pot from The Mala Market with hot pot spread

Now that the weather has cooled down, it’s officially hot pot season. Hot pot parties are one of the most popular activities in China during winter (and any time of year!). Not only is it perfect for gatherings and celebrations, it’s actually a common way to enjoy dinner when we do not feel like cooking. Because you simply need to buy your favorite ingredients from the market and do a bit of prep to have an indulgent and hearty dinner in no time.

In China, the most popular hot pot is the type with the divider. So you can use two types of soup base to make sure everyone at the table has their favorites. 

Today I’m partnering with The Mala Market to give away their beautiful brass hot pot and tasty hot base bases to one lucky reader of Omnivore’s Cookbook!

About The Mala Market

The Mala Market is America’s source for premium and hard-to-find Sichuan ingredients, a curated selection of Chinese pantry essentials and instructional Chinese pantry collections.

Their mission is to make your Chinese cooking taste like it would in China by importing traditional, artisanal Sichuan ingredients, most of which have never been available in the U.S.

Cultivating relationships with and sourcing directly from producers — cutting out all the middlemen — allows them to guarantee authenticity, quality, safety, and freshness, and also makes it possible for us to learn and share product knowledge directly from the producers.

My experience

Back when I was living in Austin, Texas, I had a hard time finding fresh Sichuan peppercorns before The Mala Market opened for business. And the first time I received a package from them, I was surprised and delighted by the freshness of the spices. Since then I’ve only been using Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili peppers from them, because they are sourced directly from Sichuan and the quality is so high.

I’ve known Taylor, the founder of The Mala Market, for several years and I’m so glad to see her company grow. For this holiday season, she started to carry these beautiful brass hot pots with a divider, which is perfect for winter.
