About Beijing mutton hot pot

Xianfeng Shiyi presents an old Beijing copper-pot mutton preparation built around a clear broth. Thin slices of mutton are the centre of the meal, accompanied by a traditional sesame-based dipping mixture served at the table.

Scallion, ginger, dried shrimp, goji berries, jujubes and shiitake mushrooms flavour the broth. The dip combines sesame paste and peanut butter with soy sauce, chive-flower condiment, fermented tofu, shrimp oil and cooking wine.

The meat is dipped into the broth and then the sauce. Chilli oil is optional, while sweet pickled garlic supplies the sour accent described in the source.
