Mala dishes are very high in sodium, with hotpot broth averaging around 418mg per 100g, stir-fried versions at 470mg per 100g, and some packaged instant versions reaching over 1200mg to 1800mg per serving, easily exceeding daily limits, especially with added ingredients or large broth consumption in hotpot meals, potentially hitting over 1,000mg to 1,500mg in a single meal.

Sodium Content Varies Widely:

• Mala Hotpot Broth (Average): ~418 mg per 100g.
• Stir-fried Mala (Average): ~470 mg per 100g.
• Instant/Packaged Mala:
  • Nissin Irvins Mala Salted Egg: ~1270mg per 100g.
  • Myojo Mala Xiang Guo: ~1840mg per 100g.
  • Myojo Dry Bowl Mala: ~1920mg per serving.

Why It's So High:

• Sauces & Seasonings: The spicy, numbing sauce base is loaded with salt, oils, and sugar, according to this article from CNA.
• Added Ingredients: Meats, processed foods, and extra sauces in hotpot significantly increase total sodium.

Health Considerations:

• The World Health Organization recommends a maximum daily sodium intake of 2,000mg, which can be easily surpassed with one serving of mala, raising risks for high blood pressure and kidney issues, notes this article from DOC2US.
