CHONGQING, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- China has recently recognized hotpot chef as an independent occupation.
Hotpot chefs in Chongqing, a municipality in southwest China where spicy hotpot has long enjoyed national fame, were encouraged by the recognition.
The recognition by the Occupational Classification System of the People's Republic of China (2022) paved way for the standardization of the industry and presented new opportunities.
After hotpot chef becomes a new occupation, a number of new training bases will be established to further systematize and professionalize the training of hot pot talents.
