Hi, welcome to my third blog. In this blog, you will learn something about Sichuan Cuisine, one of China’s eight cuisines, which I believe to be the most popular Chinese food around the world. Sichuan is a province located in southwestern China.

As the result of being within the Sichuan basin, the climate there is humid and cold. There, Sichuan people like to eat hot and spicy food to keep warm. According to my experience, Sichuan hot pot is the best hot pot in China which I highly recommend. There are many authentic Sichuan restaurants in New York, especially in Flushing. If you are a restaurant-goer and have the passion for Sichuan cuisine, be sure to go there and check them out.

The dish I’d like to introduce is Chongqing Spicy Deep-fried Chicken. The history of this dish is quite short. It has been popularized since 1990. It was a man who spent three years improving this dish to make it what it is now. It is famous for its smell and taste. The tip of cooking this dish is that dry chili should be more than the chicken thigh because that will give it a strongly good smell, which is essential for this dish.

Let’s go over the ingredients and condiments:

Chicken thigh

Red dry chili

Sichuan Pepper

White Pepper seeds

Garlic

Ginger

Five Spice Powder (A Chinese seasoning)

Chinese cook wine

Soy sauce

Salt

Sugar
