Q: Sichuan Peppers / Japanese Sansho. Anyone like this stuff?
Out of all the places I've visited in China, I've never had a dish with Sichuan pepper until I went to Beijing. It was love at first taste bud! I found a dish consisting of eggplant, sichuan peppers, string beans and red hot chile peppers.
I loved it so much that I had to ask my wife what it was, and I vowed to eat it as often as possible. Now that I'm back in the States, I bought a small jar of this stuff, and it's just amazing. Is it a narcotic? It feels like I'm floating on a cloud when I eat this stuff.
Yes. Love them. The way they spicy up the food is so much more pleasant than e.g. the Hunan style of just adding ridiculers amounts of chili.
I haven't actually been to Sichuan province, but as far as I hear, the food there is better than what you'd get at a Beijing Sichuan restaurant.
Hulk:
EXACTLY! It's just amazing, especially with ginger.
I can't stand the excessive adding of chile peppers in Hunan. By the way, that is not limited to Hunan. They do it in pretty much every province I've been to.
Scandinavian:
Hunanese people are still the only I have seen that can be given a dish consisting of 99% chili and then add some chili sauce on top because it is not spicy enough. :) I think Chongqing also has a reputation of very spicy food
That's 茄子豆角.a famous dish of sichuan food and also one of my favorite.the numb and hot feeling…delicious!Since you like that so much,I would suggest you 干煸豆角 and 油淋茄子
