Cinnamon is the bomb in non-sweet foods too. A Chongqing hot pot has dried chili peppers (OH SO MANY!), Sichuan peppercorns (red and green), star anise, cassia cinnamon (as opposed to Ceylon cinnamon), bay leaves, Chinese black cardamom, Doubanjiang (a peppery bean paste), fermented black beans, garlic, ginger, scallions, onion, and coriander (cilantro).
If I haven’t made people cringe with at least one of those ingredients, I’ve found someone with a very broad palate! 🤣

Yeah no cringing here, I’m drooling. When are you having me over for supper. You know your shit.
