近日，一款形似意大利面拌42號混凝土的“水泥麻辣燙”登頂熱搜，引發(fā)全網(wǎng)熱議。
A viral dish dubbed "cement
mala tang" has topped trending lists on Chinese social media, sparking heated debate over its unappetizing appearance.
黑不溜秋，黏不拉幾……這，還是印象里的麻辣燙嗎？
The so-called "cement
mala tang", which resembles Italian pasta mixed with cement, has left many netizens torn between curiosity and disgust. Dark, sticky and unusually thick, it bears little resemblance to the
mala tangmost people are familiar with.
所謂“水泥麻辣燙”，其實是采用黑芝麻糊粉加熱水調(diào)糊后，混合黑芝麻醬制成的濃稠醬料。因攪拌時的黏稠質(zhì)感和色澤酷似“拌水泥”而得名。
Despite its name, the dish contains no cement. Online explanations say the sauce is made by mixing black sesame paste powder with hot water and black sesame sauce, creating a dense, glue-like texture that looks like wet cement when stirred.
有網(wǎng)友表示：不管是什么配方，光看，飯縮力就拉滿了……
當然，也有吃過的網(wǎng)友表示：挺好吃的，只是難看了些……
Online reactions have been sharply divided. Some users said the dish's appearance alone was enough to "kill their appetite instantly", while others noted that despite its looks, it actually tastes good.
說到麻辣燙，大家可不要小看這個美食，它在健康方面可是有很多優(yōu)勢的！
生命時報指出：麻辣燙吃對了，還可以減肥！
中國麻辣燙還一度成為國外炙手可熱的網(wǎng)紅美食。
早在2022年，麻辣燙就在韓國成為了“頂流”。有數(shù)據(jù)顯示，麻辣燙廣受韓國年輕人歡迎，尤其初高中女生對于麻辣燙的喜愛度已經(jīng)反超韓國的傳統(tǒng)小吃炒年糕。

因為不同于辣炒年糕、火雞辣年糕等高碳水辣食，麻辣燙有肉有菜，營養(yǎng)更均衡。
Compared to previously popular high-carb spicy foods like stir-fried rice cakes and spicy turkey rice cakes, malatang has a more balanced nutrition, as it contains both meat and vegetables.
《韓國時報》還曾發(fā)表過一篇關(guān)于中國麻辣燙風靡韓國的文章。
看文章的配圖，街頭小吃麻辣燙喜提配菜，成為精致盤中餐。
文章表示，中國的麻辣燙現(xiàn)在成為了韓國最新的火爆小吃（the latest culinary hit）。其中，作者這樣形容麻辣燙的獨特風味：
Just like popular street foods yupki-tteokboki or extra hot stir-fried rice cake and fiery chicken, malatang, which originated in the Southwest Chinese province of Sichuan, is especially hot because of the main ingredient,
mala
和韓國熱門街頭小吃（比如芝士辣炒年糕、超辣炒年糕、火辣炸雞）一樣，起源于中國西南省份四川的麻辣燙，因核心原料“麻辣”而格外辛辣。
The dish is well-known for its unique spiciness that makes the tongue numb just as its Chinese characters indicate —
mameans numb and
lameans spicy.
麻辣燙因其獨特的辣味而知名，這種辣味讓你舌尖發(fā)麻，菜名“麻”“辣”二字就是指這種刺激的口感。
The
malasauce, which contains Sichuan pepper, gives the attractively spicy flavor that keeps people coming back for more.
麻辣醬的配料包括花椒，這使得麻辣燙的辣味獨具一格，讓食客流連忘返。
另外吸引韓國食客的還有去店里吃麻辣燙，拿小筐筐挑選自己愛吃的食材這種體驗：
Upon entering a malatang restaurant, diners are asked to choose fresh ingredients to add to their hotpot, such as vegetables, seafood balls, tofu, and mushrooms, along with their preferred meat — usually lamb or beef.
在麻辣燙店里，食客可以選擇自己喜歡的新鮮食材，比如蔬菜、海鮮丸子、豆腐、蘑菇還有他們偏好的肉類，一般都是牛羊肉。
Chosen ingredients are cooked in two ways: as a soup,
mala tang, or fried,
mala xiangguo. Customers can also choose the level of spiciness.
選好食物后，一般有兩種烹調(diào)的方式：帶湯的麻辣燙和炒制的麻辣香鍋，顧客還可以自己選擇辣度。
除了韓國，中國麻辣燙在日本也頗受歡迎。相信隨著中華文化走出去的腳步不斷加快，中國美食也將逐漸征服全世界的味蕾。
