Although the appearance is not big, the decoration of the old man Yin hot pot restaurant is comfortable and friendly, which can be considered to reflect the informality and bold temperament of Chongqing people.

Butter bottom?

(I.e. Old Man Yin Special Butter Hot Pot (I.e.

$ 19.80


Butter can be described as the soul of Chongqing old hot pot. Chongqing people’s butter hot pot can be traced back to the birth of hot pot. Since ancient times, Chongqing has been the Linjiang Mountain City. Food materials are transported by water, and cattle-based animals are directly slaughtered at the dock. Therefore, Chongqing people have the habit of eating cattle and water, and the rich fats in cattle are naturally used.

 

 "Three points of water, seven points of oil", high temperature can instantly stimulate and lock the umami taste of the ingredients, and shorten the maturity time of the ingredients. It remains crispy and sweet in the mouth. When the butter is boiled, the oil temperature can reach 112°, which is beyond the reach of the clean oil, which can only reach 106°.

Chongqing hot pot was once famous for its “old oil” hot pot without changing the oil. Now this practice has been abandoned for health and hygiene reasons, but even for ordinary butter pots, because the butter constantly absorbs the base and ingredients during the cooking process The aroma in it is also more fragrant as you cook. In addition, the thick and dense animal fats evaporate much slower, which reduces the trouble of constantly needing the waiter to add soup. So people in Chongqing often say, "Why don't you eat hot pot without butter?"

 

(I.e. Mandarin Duck Hot Pot with Chicken Sauce (I.e.

Originally, Chongqing hot pot did not have a clear soup pot, But in order to attract more stars who can’t eat spicy food, Master Yin still brought out a mandarin duck pot.

Vegetarian friends can also chooseMushroom Mandarin Duck PotAnd in additionYou can choose mild spicy, medium spicy and extra spicy for each kind of butter pot, Harry, who is super spicy, said that medium spicy is not good enough, slightly spicy has no taste at all(Uncle Mao Lizi, whose eyes have been blurred by sweat after eating the slightly spicy hot pot, said that he does not want to be familiar with young people...), I suggest you choose carefully according to your own ability to eat spicy food.

Master Yin Cooking Class

Experts teach you to eat hairy belly: "Seven ups and downs" is true, but it must be the temperature of the boiling butter pan. Boil it 7 times, throw it into the pot, pick up the other end, commonly known as "pick the head", and rinse it twice to ensure that the part clamped by the chopsticks is also hot and out of the pot!

The handling of yellow throat is a matter of knowledge. Once it is not handled properly, the taste will be very soft and will not chew. Fortunately, the yellow throat under the knife of Master Yin never had this problem.

When I saw this name on the menu at first, I was so happy that I almost flew. You know, I'm an experienced coriander lover.

The staple food is only rice?

Regarding the fact that the staple food of Chongqing hot pot is only rice, I really don’t know whether to complain or praise. But even this little detail, Master Yin perfectly complied with the old hot pot rules.The staple food is only rice, Only rice, only rice!(I'm going to tell you the important thing three times)

 

Based on the above scores, the old man Yin Chongqing old hot pot passed the quality inspection of Sichuan and Chongqing tongue with super high scores, the authentic Chongqing style did not say! The fly in the ointment is that the signature Drunken Fish Head is so popular that we didn't get it this time. If a lucky baby has it, don’t forget to leave a message to tell us~


 

After drinking and eating, I still don't want to leave. The friendly Master Yin seems to have a story, and I always feel that he hasn't heard enough. After coming to the United States for 15 years, Master Yin, who is in his 60s, is full of energy. His love for food made him bring his dream from Chongqing to New York.

Master Yin said that Chinese people like to eat hot pot, which is very lively. Usually the restaurant serves food, after three rounds of wine, the food is already cold before I can say it thoroughly. Hot pot is different. The hot pot is gurgling and warm. The more you eat, the warmer you eat. You can cook a dish while chatting. You give me a bite, and I give you a chopsticks, will the feelings come out?

 

"I heard that I started my own business. Our Sichuan-Chongqing Fellowship Association also awarded 5000 yuan to the entrepreneurial fund!" Speaking of his hometown, Master Yin looked proud. Indeed, bringing Chongqing’s authentic old hot pot to Chongqing to dispel the nostalgia of Sichuan and Chongqing people. Master Yin’s dream is probably that simple.

 

Finally, I will give you a little poem by Guo Moruo. Guess what?

Open a shop in the streets and alleys;

A square table with a hole in the middle;

A stove is built in the cave, and a pot is placed on the stove;

The soup is boiled in the pot, and the diners move their chopsticks;

Or hot slices of meat, or hot vegetable leaves;

Eat a stomach, fragrant you for a lifetime.
