Think of Mala Ban as a love child between hot pot and spicy garlic noodles. The numbing and spicy sauce tastes good with literally EVERYTHING. The best part about Mala Ban is that everyone can customize their sauce and ingredients, so it is vegetarian-friendly!

4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

Prepare by blanching any vegetable, protein, and carbs of your choice. I love napa cabbage, mushrooms, and bok choy for vegetables, fish balls, and thinly sliced meat for protein. For carbs, I usually use instant noodles.
Add garlic, green onion, roasted sesame seeds, ground Sichuan peppercorn, Korean red chili flakes, sea salt, and homemade chili oil in a bowl to make the chili sauce. Heat 4 tablespoons of oil and pour it on top of the ingredients. Mix well
Mix roasted sesame paste, soy sauce, black vinegar, and hot water for the sesame paste. Mix everything till smooth.
Combine the sesame paste and chili sauce, and that's it!
Drizzle the sauce on top of the blanched ingredients, and enjoy!
