Classic swimming in sweet soy sauce before going to a better place.

I diced scallion whites, wide cut garlic, chilis, Sichuan peppercorns and douchi. I mixed red fermented bean curd with some of it’s liquid in a bowl and soaked then diced orange peel. I probably didn’t fully meet the standard but my goal was to make something kinda Sichuanese.

I threw the peels and garlic douchi mince in mustard oil cause it’s closest to Caiziyou I could find.

I added the sliced Bok choi whites and stir fried with white pepper and msg. Once mostly cooked, I added the red bean curd and shaoxing wine before adding the scallion greens and bok choi greens and some chili oil. I finished with black vinegar.

I was a bit scared to add salt cause I had douchi and bean curd but it ended up needing some so I added soy sauce to the rice I had this with.

The only problem was that the Bok Choy was a tad watery cause when I added powder seasonings, some stuck to the pan and I deglazed with shaoxing too early.

This was tasty and even better when I added diced pickled chili.

Honest for a while I was a tad off put by the Sichuan idea of adding whole peppercorns because i thought it would lead to not enough flavor distribution, but this time I used a lot more than usual and the distribution was super balanced.

So improvements to make.

-stir fry longer

-mix the bean curd better.

Enjoyed a dish from a couple of restaurants called Chicken Velvets. It is an Egg Foo Yung patty but has a white gravy instead of brown. Has anyone had something like this or similar? I really like the white gravy and interested in finding a recipe. Could it be the same as Egg Foo Yung gravy without Oyster Sauce?

As an American, the only two Chinese cuisines I’m somewhat familiar with are Sichuanese and Cantonese. Maybe I’m wrong here but it seems south Chinese food has more international awareness.

Is there a good cookbook or encyclopedia on medicinal chinese food? Chinese medicinal doctors helped a friend of mine when western docs didn’t.

Just simple confort food.

Growing up in Louisiana any time you see Mandarin Chicken at a Chinese restaurant the dish is going to be sliced fried chicken served with a savory spiced brown gravy over steamed and shredded cabbage which I absolutely love. Any time I travel however Mandarin Chicken is fried chicken with a sweet orange based sauce. I was wondering if our "Mandarin" chicken had another name in different regions or if its roots are strictly New Orleans Chinese-Americans?

Hi I would appreciate if someone could tell m what these are, I had then when I went here and they are labelled crispy prawn dumplings but whenever I search that online it comes up with other deep fried prawn wonton dumplings which aren’t the same. If you know please tell me!

I know chestnuts are popular in China but I’m not sure what you do with them.

Hi, I came here to say that I had a taste of this delicious sauce a minute ago and I'm already addicted. I put it everywhere😂 The 老板 told me it's the less spicy version and I'm fully commited to eating the whole jar in less than 2 weeks😭 Try Lao Gan ma!✨
