Lately, many malatang restaurants, such as Qibao Malatang, have become very popular in Japan. Outside these restaurants, waiting in long lines is now a common scene.
Japanese people love malatang because it *offers* a special dining experience. Different from Japanese oden(关东煮), malatang can meet everyone’s tastes by adding different foods. It’s not just delicious, but also low in calories. Some restaurants even put Chinese herbs(草药) in their soups. They believe the herbs will help them keep fit. ▲ For example, Qibao Malatang has become a popular choice among many customers in Japan because of its delicious and rich soup made from over 30 medicinal herbs.
This is not the first time that Chinese malatang has become popular in other countries. In 2022, malatang also won a large number of fans in the ROK. Young schoolgirls there even love it more than their traditional Korean food. Compared to spicy(辛辣的) foods, malatang has a healthier balance, including fresh vegetables and meat.
Malatang is the traditional spicy soup from Sichuan Province. The way to prepare it may be different: in west Sichuan the malatang is similar to the hot pot that you can also find in other parts of China; in Chongqing’s version of malatang you pick your own ingredients(配料) from the fridge. Then the cook boils them up with his caldron. You can even choose how to spice your soup.
