Serves 4

Total time

30 minutes

Soup base:

1⁄4 cup fermented black beans

1⁄3 cup shaoxing wine

3 inches fresh ginger, unpeeled

1⁄4 cup dried hot red chili pepper

1⁄2 cup peanut oil

2⁄3 cup dripping lard

1⁄2 cup szechuan hot bean sauce

3 quarts beef stock

1 tablespoon rock sugar

1⁄3 cup sichuanese fermented glutinous rice wine

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon szechwan pepper

Ingredients:

Leeks

Mushrooms (Shitake, Oyster, Portobello, Enoki…)

Green beans

Green onions

Bok Choy

Spinach

Potatoes

Eggplant

Asparagus

Noodles

Tofu

Meat Slices

Instructions:

Make a paste out of the black beans and 1 Tbsp Shaoxing rice wine, using a food processor.

Wash the ginger and cut it into slices. Using a scissors, snip the chilles into 1 inch sections and remove the seeds.

Heat 3 tbs of the oil in Iona Electric Skillet over medium heat so it's hot but not smoking.

Stir fry the chilles to flavor the oil; you want the oil to sizzle around the chilles, making them crisp and fragrant, but NOT burning; using a slotted spoon remove them and set aside.

Rinse out and dry the skillet, the put on a simmer/low heat. Add the rest of the oil and the lard drippings. Once the drippings have melted completely, turn up the heat to medium.

When the oils just begin to smoke, add the chile bean paste and stir fry until the oil is rich and fragrant (60-90 seconds).

The paste should NOT burn, if necessary turn the heat down to let the paste sizzle in the oil.

When the oil has reddened, add the black bean mash and the ginger. Stir fry until they also are fragrant.

Add about 1 1/2 quarts of the beef stock and bring to a boil.

When the liquid reaches a boil, add the rock sugar, the rest of the Shaoxing wine, and glutinous rice wine. Salt to taste.

Add the chiles and the Sichuan pepper (adjust the quantity depending on how "hot and numbing" you want it) leave the broth to simmer for 15-20 minutes.

You are now ready to use this to dip ingredients to cook.

Power on IONA Electric Skillet after 30 minutes and set to high. Remove the kombu when the water starts to boil.

Add napa cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and tofu. Start with the ingredients that take the longest to cook.
