Chinese Hot Pot

Daily 11:30am-12:30am

Hot pot: A simmering pot of broth at the table (Sichuan-style red with chili and peppercorn, or mild bone, tomato or mushroom) into which diners cook thin-sliced meats, seafood, tofu, greens and noodles, then dip them in sauces they mix themselves. Priced per person or per plate of ingredients. On this menu as: Ultra-Pure Beef Tallow Hotpot · Hot Pot Bowls (rice included) · Tomato Beef Hot Pot Bowl.
Tofu (bean curd): Pressed soybean curd, from custard-soft (for mapo tofu and soups) to firm (for stir-fries and braises). Fried tofu puffs soak up sauce; tofu skin (yuba) is the sheet lifted off simmering soy milk, rolled and braised or fried as a "vegetarian duck". On this menu as: Fish Tofu · Fresh Tofu Skin · Fried Bean Curd Roll.
Bao: Soft, slightly sweet steamed yeast buns. Filled versions (baozi) hold barbecued pork (char siu bao), vegetables, custard or red bean; baked char siu bao has a glossy golden crust instead. Unfilled folded buns (gua bao, "lotus leaf buns") come with braised pork belly or Peking duck to stuff at the table. On this menu as: Fried Steamed Bun.
Szechuan-style (American menus): The older Wade-Giles spelling of Sichuan. On American-Chinese menus "Szechuan beef" or "Szechuan chicken" signals a spicy garlic-chili sauce with vegetables; on a Sichuan restaurant's menu the same word means the real thing, so expect Sichuan peppercorn and real heat. On this menu as: Sichuan Crispy Pork.
