Copycat Haidilao Hot Pot Dipping Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp Chinese chive or cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fermented soybean paste or miso paste as a substitute
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorn lightly crushed
  • 2 tbsp chili oil adjust to desired spice level
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir until smooth and the sugar dissolves completely.
  • Add in the Chinese chive or cilantro, fermented soybean paste, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add the minced garlic into the mixture and stir until well combined. The garlic will add an extra depth of flavor to the sauce.
  • Gently crush the Sichuan peppercorns using a mortar and pestle (or a rolling pin), and add them to the sauce for that signature numbing kick.
  • Pour in the chili oil and stir everything until smooth and evenly blended. Adjust the amount of chili oil based on your spice preference.
  • Let the sauce sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving with your hot pot.
