Yi: moderation is key
Also Yi: *proceeds to use almost every ingredient for the sauce
She is
Darling. I think what she's intending to get across is, Just a little bit of everything😏
This is THE best beginner hot pot video. This is the one I tell people to watch before the 1st time they go.
Asian food is a gift from God. So beautiful!
*Peruvian
Sarita G what?
All food is.. you ever try Lebanese food?
@@tusarita22 have you heard of Mom's food
MirkAssassin your welcome, we brought it too you
why would i pay to cook my own food?
Because i dont have to clean up afterwards!! Cooking the food is so fun!!! The cleaning is the problem!! 😁😁😆
Yes! And becaude you are using the ingredients....that's just a stupid question..
It's still a restaurant. U juz cook ur own food. Leave when ur done they have busboys to clean ur table....
also no prep
Kevin Playz thats basically cooking
In my family, if I cook, then you clean. That’s how it’s always been with my family. Seems logical and fair with all my sisters. In my friend’s family, if you cook, then you clean because you made the mess. She’s always cooking and cleaning for her whole family and none of her siblings help her. I told her to go read “The Little Red Hen.”
There's a 4th way to eat an egg at hotpot. I learned and experienced it with my Korean friend. At the end of your meal you leave about an inch to 2 inches of broth. You ask for rice with a little sesame oil and dried seaweed flakes on top. You dump that in, crack the egg in and stir quickly. The heat is off at this point, btw. Let it sit for a min after you've stirred and OMG, it's the best!!!!!! Try it!
CrystalG NYC shoot that's how we eat it here🙌🙌 best way to end the meal
dump the egg in the rice or the broth?
Egg drop soup with rice YUM!!!
I eat noodles at the VERY END of the hot pot, because after all the things you put in the hot pot, the flavor of the soup in the hot pot is amazing, its really really flavorful! And Mike’s not lying, don’t eat it at first, otherwise you’ll be full, and it doesn’t have much flavors. :)
StanleyTheGamer, it’s probably like ramen then
My favorite. Good strategy 👍
While Dan explained... Mike dump all the good to his side.. Classic mike
Horrible video to watch when you're craving for hot pot.
I KNOW RIGHT!!!
possumshake ikr
Sooo f****** true man!
hahahah i know lol
They make me want to eat!!!
Dan: "it's like an egg bomb right there."
炸彈(蛋). Get it? LOL.
long time no see......yummyakitori....
Haha,dan is chinese for egg.😆
YummYakitori HAHAHAHA!!!
Wow
"tell them the chives look really gross but they're good"
Mike: "yeah the chives look like someone vomited grass".... -__- LOL
*goes to school after chinese new year*
Teacher: "oh what did you do?"
Me: "oh I had a hotpot"
Teacher: "oh. What is a hotpot?"
Mike has a strategy for everything. lol
I now feel like i can conquer the hot pot world.
Alicia McGee do it!
Don't stab your chopsticks thou
Hey Guys, The place we went to is called Baidu in Flushing :-)
Check out www.meetup.com/Asian-Food-and-Other-Awesome-Food-Adventures-Meet-Up
for opportunities to eat with us
I wish there was a place to have hotpot where I live. I live in boringville and they don't know what good food is around here. m :(
I went there once..when I visited New York for vacation....
Ruby Chen did u like it?
It is better than chinatownn and mahattan in my opinion.
I'm eating hotpot for Christmas. This video came at the perfect time.
Even though this is an older video you helped me with my first experience at eating hot pot. We have a new hot pot restaurant here in south Florida and it was awesome! From the sauce to the cooking order and all of the wonderful, delicious items to cook and enjoy. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!
I've never had hot pot, but it looks awesome.
same
Dont. It stinks.
@@tamanna394 wrong
It's great
Poor camera guy. He's stuck there watching you three eat a ton of delicious food. All for the greater good...
"You'd never jump into a sauna!" Haha.
Haha, I'm thinking the same.
He could've eaten before :D
If you're able to find Taiwanese Sausage (香肠), DUMP IT IN. It's life changing. I swear. It takes in all the goodness from the soup, and sweetens the soup while still keeping some sweetness. It's just phenomenal when you bite into it.
The only thing you need to make sure is to cook it thoroughly (it taste better the longer you let it sit in the soup anyway) or else you'll bite into something raw and unpleasant
Jinger Yeoh ok you convinced me, I'm gonna bring my own next time - Mike
Off the Great Wall Let me know if the experience is as awesome for you too! (And I forgot to mention; it's best if the 香肠 is the rounded/fish-ball-shaped kind instead of the hot-dog kind.)
Jinger Yeoh wait a minute....never seen ball shaped before
Off the Great Wall Really? I think it's really easy for us to find in the Malaysian market though.. Maybe you should Google it and see if you can find it in your area!
does it really taste diff than the long ones?
I thought Mike’s sauce bowl was going overflow on his hands before he finished getting sauces ! I bet he had to walk slow to the table 🤣
One of my friend is a dumper and we don't like to eat with her hahahaha
I'm a dumper and I have a family full of dumpers
What’s a dumper
Hobonuut Yes a dumper
Dumpers rule. You're just boring
My way of eating hotpot is exactly the same as Mike's lol! The spicy hot pot, piled on cilantro, dumping foods, tofu lover, mushy potatoes, chopstick on corns....... it's kinda creepy of the fact to have so many same habits as one person when it comes to foods with such great versatility. (' >')
monica yuan yay! you eat smart!
I'm almost like Mike without the Cilantro and Mushroom Tofu I don't but I'll eat as long as it's beefy and spicy
I just had hot pot for the first time a few weeks ago and have been craving it everyday since! I have an older friend who is chinese (she’s basically like a second mother to me) and she came over to my house and showed me how to cook and eat it! It was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. It’s crazy how much of a bonding experience it was to! Very grateful for that day and to my dear friend XīHuì. ☺️
Mike is like every guy in my family...
-uncle
-dad
-grandpa
-cousin
Thank you so much for sharing the great tips. I'm very shy when trying new things, and your wonderful informative, funny and charming vids are fantastic to take with me. xoxo
OMG. Mike eats just like my dad! Same food choices, same techniques, same sauce, same verbose-ness (jkjk). My bets are that Dan edited the video; there's so much "Mike dumping food in the the hot pot" commentary. lol
Francis Shue your dad is smart
You guys are so nice to watch when ur having a really really bad day. Your happy and eating awesome food. Damn guys your awesome and food looks awesome. Thanks for lifting my spirits for a bit
I do 2 parts sesame
1 part hoisin sauce
1 part bean curd
And cilantro
It's sweet but slightly sour and savoury
To anyone who’s skeptical it’s super yummy and no weird tasting at all. There’s so many options and sauces you can really make it your own! Thanks for the video, really informative!!
Probably the only one who has NEVER been to a Hotpot XD
FierceCat 28 Nope. I’m here too. I desperately wanna have it.
I haven't, there aren't any around here.
You’re not alone
I haven't and probably never will. Don't travel
I didn't even know what it was until mikes videos lol. Now i can't wait to try one!
Sugar :) not too much
And then fucking pour a lot
RepOnRep Nation a lot isn't too much. Too much is half the shaker.
This was an awesome video! You guys have great chemistry and are very entertaining and informative!
Yi, Dan & Mike, Years since this video has been posted, I find these young people so authentic and so likable.
The camera man must be so hungry watching them eat😂🌽🌶🌶🍳🍤🍜🍚
Katy Wilburn he eats behind the scene
The camera man eats last that when the soup is most flavorful.
There's a camera man? I thought they just mounted it on the opposite chairs
Sergio Quintero they had a camera man
Katy Wilburn
I love the way Mike eats. So hearty and with so much gusto. 吃得好爽! Its especially horrible to hotpot with someone who eats daintily and go like nono thats too much im too full already after like 10 minutes.
I want to eat hotpot with mike!!
Alleyne Carlinda Wirawan I agree! Yes you can eat with me :-)
I wanna eat with Mike too!!! His hotpot style is sooo my style! Extra extra EXTRA spicy...same sauce too..and I like to dump XD ahhahaha
moreBANANAS Duh nice! that's the right way to do it!
I laughed a lot, learned, & thoroughly enjoyed the film. Thanks, OTGW family! 🙂
Thank you for all of the details! Great video!
It's cute how Mikey says "eat". He says "Yeet"💜💜💜💜
I went to I-Cook in Flushing yesterday and made Mike's sauce! VINEGAR! Wow, I ate so much and everything was awesome. I should've taken more video footage!
You guys are hilarious...and very informative! I'm ready to hit the streets in my small town of Victoria BC Canada. Thank you. Knowing how to eat Asian food would make people want to try it, and you've taken care of hot pot. Thank you.
Thanks to you guys, I will have to try this dish, looks so good. Keep those videos coming.
Just spent a year in Jiangsu province (Kunshan) and was introduced to hotpot by my students and i thought it was awesome, (Interestingly one student added peanut butter to his sauce) ill be going back in a few weeks so im binge watching all episodes!! So Thanks guys for making this and many other videos
I’m traveling to my hometown through China, I have 15 hours in China, I was gonna just get a hotel and sleep but now you guys made me decide to skip the hotel part and just get a hot pot, I hope the spicy broth (base) doesn’t screw up with my stomach during the flight
How did it go?
Awesome video! Very informative. Thank you
I have never heard about this type of restaurant. Great vid, very informative, kept me interested the whole time.
Mike is an expert. He knows what you should get for hotpot.
So, it's basically like the Vietnamese version of Pho where you cook everything by yourself. Kind of like the Melting Pot or Korean BBQ without the grill or rice.
adepoju22 wrong. this is chinese version of korean bbq
@@mikhail6884 That's literally what she just said.
Oh my god. I've never heard of this before. It looks amazing!
Never heard of a hotpot but it looks incredible and delicious. Thanks for showing how it’s done. You’ve made me super hungry.
3:52 look at Dan's face lol 😂😂😂😂😂
Malaysian and I can tell you we have lots of hot pot here. We call it steamboat.
I'm Malaysian and I say steamboat too
malaysabolehpsy SAME
But my father calls it hot pot maybe cause he lived half his life in New Zealand and wants me to go there in my middle school age
So that's why I don't agree with the OTGW Asian parents like asks me to learn piano
Same
This is my first time seeing mikey so young lol! I love Mikey on his 2 new channels!
The way Mike eats is so similar to me! Haha! Ultra spicy and dumping everything in at once and having the variety of sauces and just trying out as much as possible!
I'm STARVING! I wasn't hungry until I watched this.
I love hot pot me and my husband try it. we still need to learn how to cook the food, but it was a fun experience.
I have to thank you for this video. I grew up eating dim sum in Chinatown in NYC as a kid with my Mom's college friend who was from China, we called her Aunt Annie, and so my love for authentic Chinese food started at a very young age, but hot pot was new to me. I wanted to try it so bad after the Chengdu episode with Andrew Zimmern, and this video really assisted me in what had ended up being my favorite foods and sauce combo! Corn and eggs are my favorite, I mostly follow Mike's sauce. I made my Mom and sister have it as well and they love it!
Keeping this clip to refer to when I finally go for hotpot!!! Thanks 🙏💖
I love when Jet Li and Jackie Chan collab ❤️
😒
Lmfaooo
omg I want hotpot now.
Blah Smith follow your heart!
Aww I can't stop watching your videos..makes me cry because I so want to try it..it looks yummy
Nice job. Will make going to such a place easier as if experienced. Thanks
I want to eat it!!! I love soup and I love Korean BBQ I bet I will loooove this! Thank you guys for introducing me to the hotpot!
Bianca Ferguson you would love it :-)
foods I eat all the time in asia: dumplings (especially chocalate dumplings at this awesome place in Asia) , hotpot, snow flake moon cakes, turtle shell, and dragons beard candy. I love drinking boba or 'bubble tea' .
My Asian friend brought me to one of these my reaction was just FEED MEHHHHHH FEEEEEDDDD MEEEEHHHH because I had no idea what was going on
marks the only one who really knows how to have fun with it
Great video guys loved the energy
that food looks like amazing
You guys are killing me! I LOVE hotpot! My family does not follow your method, but I love it anyway. Me? I am a westerner with four trips to Chongqing and a fifth coming up. Whatever is before me, I eat. I love it. BTW, my wife is from Chongqing.
I love these guys! Super helpful.
Really enjoyed this video. You guys are awesome together. Can’t wait to try my first hotpot.
Yi had a serious sauce recipe, that's a complicated sauce!
I'm surprised that, when Dan mentioned adding Spam, you didn't start singing, "The Spam Song."
"Spam, Spam, Spam and Rice and Spam . . . I HATE SPAM!!!" ;-)
Nick Hentschel never heard the spam song
Off the Great Wall Look it up under "Monty Python."
It's their greatest sketch, the one that gave "Internet spam" its name.
I can’t wait to try the hotpot looks good thanks for sharing how to eat it .
3:46 I was literally frightened when you added one spoon of chives... over here people only add like... several drops...😂
And btw the "traditional sauce" in the video is actually more common in northern China and with non-spicy hotpot soup, whereas in Sichuan and Chongqing people prefer sesame sauce much more.
I never heard of hot pot until I saw your channel & now I definitely want to eat it! It looks Delicious!
Love the dynamic
Thank you for the lessons
I’m Lowkey the dumper to lmaoo. I would dump all the beef in so that I wouldn’t have to wait for my food. 😂
One thing about us Asians, we sure know how to freaking EAT! lol!
There are no hotpot restaurants where I live, but I’ve wanted to try it for a long time. I’m planning on making my own at home and this video has actually been really helpful walking me through how the whole experience is supposed to work, so thanks for that!
Aloha! I am currently living in the Poconos Pa. I spent 10 years in Hawaii...thank you for educating the mainland to the beautiful deliciousness that is span and rice (And if you add eggs it's breakfast)
So, confession time! I've never had hotpot... insane, I know! But this looks amazing. I'd gladly give it a try if I ever had the opportunity.
Anna Rose OMG! Gotta try it! Where are you from?
Newfoundland, Canada. I actually only started hearing about hotpot talking to friends I met online. I'm not sure we even have them here. lol.
Anna Rose go to either toronto or vancouver...don't know if you are near either places
Off the Great Wall I'm not close to either. lol. They're on the mainland and I'm off on an island on the far east coast.
BUT, if I see a place where it's available, I'm going to give it a try, for sure.
You can do it anytime at home! Just get one of those heaters, a pot, make a nice broth, and buy the meats and vegetable that you would like you put it in. You'll also need soy sauce and hot sauce mixture as a dipping sauce.
omg all these years I thought tripe was a fish!
I love how stoked you guys are for hotpot!
Great tip about the dairy (yogurt) before and after the meal. Interesting video!
You forgot the pork belly. You've now made me want to find somewhere I can go try it. I like fatty meat, as well and the hotpot looks delicious.
I dont always go to Hotpot places but when i do.........they run out of meat.
I’m going to hotpot for the first time tomorrow!! I’m so excited 🥺❤️
wonderful adventure guys thanks for the upload
If Mikey doesn't stop loading those pots you'll have to be sipping the soup up off the table! Why would you want to eat something that is going to hurt your stomach???
Hard to explain...so spicy it hurts, but so delicious you can't stop. It's addictive and very unhealthy (lots of sodium) but o.m.g it is so good.
Love how in your other video you say "NEVER stick your chopsticks into your food".. and in this video, it's "Stick your chopsticks into the food." lol
David Butt I know they make so much stuff up in this video. Talking rubbish aren’t they
@David Butt @Chris 1 They meant never leave your chopstick staight right upsided. However, you can use your chopsticks to get foods, as Chinese people do it all the time. Just don't leave striaght up when your doing something else.
Really enjoyed watching this! You guys are hilarious. My first hot pot experience was meh...now kinda excited to do it again now that I "know betta" :)
Wow! I'll never see hotpot the same way again :). Thank you for posting this.
Question: Is hot pot any good for vegetarians? It seems that there's a lot offered aside from just meat, like veggies and tofu. Would you recommend trying it if you don't eat the meat(or fish)?
Not at a restaurant bc the broth is always meat based. you can do hotpot at home very easily. use veggie broth as your base and prep all your veggies. i like tofu, bean sprouts, any/all mushrooms, carrots, celery, sweet potatoes, golden potatoes, corn, vegan sausage if you like that, jalapenos, spinach, kale, onions, dried dates... reallly any of your fave veggies will work. and rice noodles of course. ive done this for vegan hotpot night. it was awesome.
Some places have miso based soups so you can do that and they generally have a wide variety of veggies and noodies
ShotgunLlama hot pot bases can be complicated but they can also be simple. At home I usually just use a few cloves of garlic, two whole stalks of spring onion or scallion, don't cut it up put the whole thing in there so you don't accidentally take it out, a handful of dried mushrooms (fresh also will do) and a slice or two of ginger. It's a very mild Soup base and you can add chilli flakes and chilli oil or whatever to spice it up if you like but if you don't like spice a mild base is enough, because the important flavours are in the dipping sauce. At home I use one of those stand alone convention stoves at the dinner table, and it is super simple. For dipping sauce, you can find sesame sauce and salty preserved chives in the condiment section of any Asian grocery
hot pot is great for vegetarians.
Shotg
Here's my hot pot sauce: Sesame Chili soy sauce
This episode is quite warming I keep watching in it in fall.
I love all your videos.. hope to meet you guys soon
Can I go out to dinner with you guys lol
I'm also a hotpot dumper lol.
I'm an Indian but I live in China. My favourite Chinese dish is hotpot❤️❤️. Making your own sauce is the best thing I love about hotpot
This is so fascinating. It looks delicious and I'm wondering how I've never heard or seen this before in my life.
Mike, I love how you eat :) you enjoy every bite :)
Sig Linde Gotta eat with emotion, with feeling :-) Mike
Off the Great Wall absolutely :)
