A Chongqing Classic, Handcrafted Fresh Every Day

If you want real hotpot flavor, you always start with the classics. At Peijie Hotpot, our Stem Lettuce Pork Meatballs are not just a dish. They are a piece of tradition we brought from Chongqing to Amsterdam.

This recipe has been with us for over twelve years. It comes from the original Peijie Hotpot kitchens in Chongqing, where food isn’t just made, it is practiced and perfected.

Today, across all Peijie Hotpot locations, we serve more than 2.8 million of these meatballs every year. That number isn’t for show. It is trust built one bite at a time, from guests who return for the same honest, comforting taste, again and again.

What makes it special

Hand-cut pork and fresh stem lettuce prepared for Peijie signature meatballs

We do it the old way.

Every morning, our chefs hand-cut pork to keep the texture springy and juicy. We mix it with fresh stem lettuce, a crunchy vegetable from southwest China that adds a clean and refreshing bite.

No shortcuts. No machine paste. No fillers.

You taste it immediately:
Tender, bouncy, and naturally savory.
A bite that feels honest, warm, and real.

How to enjoy it

Drop the meatball gently into the bubbling hotpot.
Watch it float and cook.
Lift it, let the steam rise, and take a moment.

Soft, bouncy, full of aroma.
Rich yet clean.
Comforting, never heavy.

This is how Chongqing hotpot welcomes you.

A playful table challenge

We have a small tradition:
Try to lift the meatball with chopsticks.

Simple idea, but it takes focus and a steady hand.
It always brings laughter, and that is the point.
Hotpot is about sharing joy, not just food:)
