Love having hotpot often at home, we’ve found a handy hotpot soup “hack” that you might want to take note of! Of course, there’s always frozen soup base packs or even entire instant self-heating hotpots—but sometimes these take up too much space in your fridge, or just don’t taste as authentic. If you want a nifty “hack” for an easy, convenient hotpot soup base at home that tastes almost like the ones you have at hotpot restaurants, try these HDL soup base cubes instead!

You’re probably familiar with HDL’s famous soup base packets that come in various flavours like mala, tomato, mushroom, chicken and more; but did you know they also made soups in cube form?

All you have to do is pop open a cube and stir fry over heat until it’s melted and until the spices are aromatic, add water and bring to a boil. You can also add milk as desired for a more rich and creamy mala soup flavour. You can use the cubes for more than just soup: it also works as a seasoning base for dry mala, stir fried dishes, noodles and much more!
