How to Cook the Perfect Chaoshan Beef Hotpot? Chef Reveals

How to cook beef balls for maximum bounce? How to mix the perfect satay sauce? Shunlong's head chef demonstrates at-home techniques for recreating an authentic Chaoshan beef hotpot experience.

The chef recommends: First, keep the broth clear—use beef bone or light chicken stock with minimal seasoning to highlight the beef balls' sweetness. Second, add beef balls to cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes for optimal bounce. Third, mix satay sauce with a touch of peanut butter and garlic, add cilantro or celery for extra flavor.

Shunlong beef balls are pure beef—no thawing needed, add directly to the pot. Pair with Shunlong's Chaoshan satay sauce for an even better experience.
