Fly By Jing Launches Its Mighty Mini 'Hot Pot Bomb'

Inspired by Sichuan's iconic hot pot bases, Fly By Jing's Hot Pot Bomb brings the hot pot experience from restaurants to everyday life—crafted for experimentation, remixing, and daily cooking. Developed in collaboration with culinary creator and long-time Fly By Jing fan Logan Moffitt ("The Cucumber Guy"), the Hot Pot Bomb is launching today alongside a charming Mini Electric Hot Pot (serves 1-2), a sleek, portable red pot designed for easy hot pot preparation anywhere. Perfect for cozy nights in, revitalized desk lunches, dorm room feasts, or intimate dinner dates, the Hot Pot Bomb and Mini Hot Pot are available exclusively at flybyjing.com, TikTok Shop, and specialty AAPI-focused retailers.

Hot pot is celebrated for its flavor and is often reserved for leisurely evenings. Fly By Jing's Hot Pot Bomb changes that, packing layers of spicy, tingly, umami-rich flavor into a powerful little cube that melts into a flavorful broth at home. If you can boil water, you can enjoy hot pot.

This launch marks Logan's first consumer product collaboration. United by a shared passion for sparking curiosity through food and pushing flavor boundaries, Fly By Jing Founder and CEO Jing Gao teamed up with Logan—whose recipes, such as the viral cucumber salad, have amplified appreciation for Sichuan ingredients and the stories behind them. At the heart of the collaboration is a belief in openness and connection, encouraging curiosity and making new flavors approachable and fun.

"Logan introduced countless people to the bold, vibrant flavors of Sichuan chili crisp through his videos, and now we're taking it a step further with the Hot Pot Bomb," says Jing Gao. "Hot pot is a beloved comfort meal for both of us, and we're thrilled to bring this tradition into homes everywhere—offering an easy, accessible way for all to experience the soul of Sichuan."

Using the Hot Pot Bomb is simple: just add one cube to 2-3 cups of water or broth, bring to a boil, and dip vegetables, meat, tofu, or noodles straight into the bubbling broth filled with Sichuan peppercorn, chili, garlic, ginger, and other umami-packed ingredients. It's a meal designed for mixing and matching—Jing loves thinly sliced meats, cabbage, mushrooms, fried tofu puffs, or Fly By Jing Noodles. As the pot continues cooking, add more liquid to keep the experience going. For dipping, Logan recommends combining equal parts Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp, soy sauce, peanut butter, and grated garlic.

"Hot pot is my comfort ritual. I love it because it's deeply personal and completely customizable, with bold, exciting flavors that truly awaken the senses. Collaborating with Fly By Jing on the mighty mini 'Hot Pot Bomb' is our way of sharing that experience with you," says Logan Moffitt. "This mini Hot Pot Bomb and Mini Electric Hot Pot take a dish usually meant for large groups and make it easy, fast, and delicious for one person at home. I can't wait to see what you create."

With solo dining on the rise and people seeking cozy, low-effort meals, hot pot is experiencing a cultural moment. On social media, posts tagged #hotpot have exceeded 3.3 million across TikTok and Instagram, while searches for "one-pot dinner ideas" have increased by 102% year-over-year. The Hot Pot Bomb meets this demand with a convenient, approachable format, inviting both enthusiasts and newcomers to enjoy Sichuan flavors at home.

From the original launch of Sichuan Chili Crisp to Noodles, and now with the Hot Pot Bomb, Fly By Jing continues to innovate with category-defying formats, all in service of bringing bold, authentic Sichuan flavors to new audiences and inspiring consumers to let their taste buds fly. This latest release further advances the brand's mission to make Sichuan culinary experiences accessible at home.
