OP: How is Sichuan hotpot base stir-fried? It is stir-fried by our chef and then cools and solidifies into a solid block. For each individual pot, we use one piece of this base and add water to create your personal hotpot broth. Just to be clear, this base isn't the final soup. It's the concentrate we use to make the broth for each table. (cr 周大签四川火锅底料)

byler fandom has officially gone insane due to the content drought because tell me why willbyerseatshotpot exists. and actually tell me why im so locked into the lore as well because will byers loves hotpot but jonathan doesn't because he gets overstimulated from it and he prefers to get plain rice instead. and they can't go out for it often because money is tight, but joyce does try her best. and el likes throwing meat into the hotpot because it makes a big splash. and dustin.. dustin is just happy to be there

my transformers oc she's a food truck named hotpot

hotpot used to be an ambulance and was the medic for her autobot squadron, who unfortunately were shot out of orbit by decepticons above an alien planet. everyone except hotpot was killed and hotpot herself was presumed dead and thus abandoned on this very distant alien planet for several thousand years. after fixing herself and realising she wasn't getting off this planet any time soon, hotpot did some exploring and realised she had landed nearby a major population centre - and not only were the native biological population friendly enough to an erstwhile soldier in the cybertronian civil war, they also introduced hotpot to her new obsession: organic cuisine.

transformers by nature can't eat or process organic food, nor do they really want to (most of them think it's pretty gross). but hotpot had been isolated for a couple hundred years by the time she got in contact so she had an open mind for pretty much anything to keep her entertained. she was SO entertained that she actually decided to... operate on herself to give herself the top half of an extremely realistic digestive system. mostly the mouth part (functioning tastebuds and the like, not so much the waste evacuation part - it just gets incinerated LOL).

from that moment, hotpot fell in LOVE with flavour and cooking and the incredibly diverse world of FOOD!!!! she even rebuilt herself a little into a food truck and changed her name to suit (it used to be hotspot) (she isn't..... super creative) and just for good measure transed her gender as well.

when the war ended, hotpot rejoiced at the opportunity to travel the universe freely and start working on her food blog! unfortunately, she was still stuck on this planet with no real way of getting off.

...until a ship piloted by a little green thing and his quiet friend showed up at her doorstep :^)

she's very talkative and enthusiastic but not very in tune with actual communication, mostly because she's spent a long time only talking to herself. hates silence! loves food! loves making people smile, wishes more cybertronians would be open to the idea of eating different kinds of food. doesn't really care that most people think she's weird. gets easily attached to people and isn't very good at telling when someone has bad intentions. still a very talented medico, but wants to focus on her cooking career now that the demand for wartime doctors is mostly over. the chef hat is made of metal and it's magnetic & the little cape on her back is the canopy that goes over the serving window of her alt mode

Tropical forests of Yunnan province 云南, southwest China. 🌴🇨🇳

Fun fact: the province is well known for its wide variety of native wild mushrooms (over 800 types of edible mushrooms) which are featured in many Yunnanese dishes like the local hotpot. 🍄🍄‍🟫

Accidentally made enough hotpot to feed a small village.
