No matter how much Veeky Forumsniggers slander The Chinese, I love them

I'm not one for tofu but that soup looks delicious.. more??

Want to make this dish but living in bum fuck rural America, I don't have access to any of the specialized ingredients (e.g. Shizuan peppercorns), does anyone have a suitable cheat recipe?

You can't really replace sichuan peppercorn for this.

You should be able to mail order all the shelf-stable ingredients though:

amazon.com/Chinese-Whole-Dried-Red-Chile/dp/B00THPD0UG
amazon.com/Kadoya-Pure-Sesame-Oil-oz/dp/B0000CNU10

So all that's really left is tofu, ground pork, scallions, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and chicken stock

Thanks a lot for taking the time for the links user! I'll hop right on it.

And remember, if your tongue is not sending you alerts that your face is melting off yet, add more chile.

I prefer thinly sliced beef with my Sichuan water boiled dish (literal Chinese translation). Oddly enough chicken doesn't absorb the flavor as well as fish or beef imo.

Many dim sum restaurants especially in America mostly serves Cantonese style food which makes it more difficult to find authentic sichuan food.

I never thought to put bok choy in these style dishes, I'll have to try it next time

I made some last week. Was good as hell.

Another iteration of the same dish. My other favorite sichuan dish in the background - eggplant

This is pretty tasty and easy to make:

You guys heard of this? themalaproject.com/

Is this the dish that Anthony Bourdain is always raving about lately?

That and VietCong food

I had that for the first time on Friday. It was great. Spicy, soft tofu, chewy pork. It was more rich than I thought It would be. I regret not getting white rice instead of fried.

What's in it that creates the sensation of kind of a numbing, almost minty, feel?

sichuan peppercorns

I don't think you're supposed to eat them whole...? You're supposed to grind them up or something. Not sure.

why spam and anchovy as additional topping when one or the other is already salty as shit

not to mention the pepperoni already there

Anyone got a good recipe?
I have tried 4-5 i have found online, and they are all decisively mediocre at best.

You were fortunate that you could see where the recycled food came from.

Would you have been so welcoming to the practice if you knew they did that behind the scenes in the kitchen too?

The waitress seemed pragmatic though.

Any recipe with less than 5 steps is made by/for white people
