Imagine a bubbling pot of broth, rich with spices and brimming with fresh ingredients, sitting at the center of a family table. This is Delong Hotpot, a culinary gem from Ningxia that’s now stealing the spotlight during Chinese New Year celebrations nationwide. 🍲✨
Once a regional specialty, Delong Hotpot has become a symbol of reunion and hope. Its rise to fame isn’t just about taste—it’s about the warmth it brings. Families gather around the steaming pot, dipping thinly sliced meats, veggies, and hand-pulled noodles into the aromatic broth. It’s like the ‘Love, Actually’ of meals—every bite tells a story of togetherness.
Chefs in Ningxia say the secret lies in the broth: a 12-hour simmer with goji berries, Sichuan peppercorns, and local herbs. But the real magic? It’s a meal that pauses time. \"No phones, no stress—just laughter and shared moments,\" says Li Wei, a third-generation hotpot restaurateur in Yinchuan.
