Zhazha Beef First Release

Zhazha Beef First Release

Minced and shredded beef sizzles in fragrant beef tallow with a hotpot base, chili powder, Sichuan pepper, pickled chilies, celery, and garlic sprouts, a gritty, firecracker-spicy Sichuan specialty that clings to rice like a craving.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Prepare 200g of 'Fire Kid' beef tallow hot pot base.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Prepare these ingredients, and there are still 50g of chopped pickled peppers, 300g of minced beef, and shredded beef that were not included in the photo.

  3. 3
    Step image

    Step one: first stir-fry 300g of minced beef and shredded beef until cooked. When the pan is about 60% hot and starts to smoke a little, add the beef. Note: You don't need to add oil when stir-frying the beef in this step.

  4. 4
    Step image

    Stir-fry quickly, cook the beef until done, about 2-3 minutes. Once the beef turns reddish and there are no blood streaks, it can be taken out of the pan.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Set the cooked beef aside for later use.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Put 100g of raw beef fat into the pot. Stir the beef fat continuously, and it will melt in about 1 minute.

  7. 7
    Step image

    Pour 30g of minced ginger into the almost melted butter.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Then add 50g of pickled chili segments.

  9. 9
    Step image

    Stir-fry until fragrant.

  10. 10
    Step image

    Start cooking the old hotpot beef tallow base for 'Huowa'. After many attempts, this base fried with crispy beef is the most fragrant.

  11. 11
    Step image

    Add chili powder.

  12. 12
    Step image

    Pour in 2 and a half jin of boiling water.

  13. 13
    Step image

    Add another 30g of seasoning powder.

  14. 14
    Step image

    Stir the bottom of the pot, mix the seasoning powder evenly, and cook for 1 minute.

  15. 15
    Step image

    Add an appropriate amount of cornstarch water. This step is optional; adding cornstarch water will make the beef more tender and the soup more delicious.

  16. 16
    Step image

    Pour in the previously cooked ground beef that has been set aside.

  17. 17
    Step image

    You can take it out of the pot after cooking for 1-2 minutes.

  18. 18
    Step image

    I’m using a bullfrog hotpot, and it’s also fine to use a relatively large basin to hold it.

  19. 19
    Step image

    Sprinkle with minced celery, and it's ready to serve.
