Taste Secret Mongolian Hot Pot Recipe in a Chinese courtyard
Early in the 18th century, Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong delved into many delicious foods, including the now iconic Mongolian hot pot, a communal way of eating by cooking vegetables and meat in hot broth. Taste the special recipe of traditional Mongolian Hot Pot, also well-known as mutton hotpot at Jing’s Residence, the former home of a Qing dynasty silk merchant and hidden gem in the ancient walled town of Pingyao. The dining experience is made even more unique when enjoyed within the property’s 260-year-old.
