Sichuan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China. Its taste is characterized by "hemp, spicy, fresh and fragrant", with diverse dishes, biased taste and good use of seasoning. Cooking techniques are basically stir-frying, dry stir-frying and dry burning.
Many of our favorite foods come from Sichuan cuisine, such as Mapo tofu, fish with Chinese sauerkraut, fish-flavored shredded pork, dried fish, Dongpo elbow, kung pao chicken and so on.
Sichuan cuisine is full of color and flavor, and its spicy and delicious characteristics have spread all over the country. Whether in the north or the south, the taste of Sichuan cuisine attracts people from all over the country.
Although there are countless local cuisines in Sichuan, when you are really in the land of abundance, you must order the following dishes, so that people will know that you are proficient in Sichuan cuisine at a glance.
The first is Sichuan style pork.
According to its literal meaning, it is not difficult to guess that Sichuan-style pork actually means cooking again. It is the first authentic Sichuan dish. Locals like to eat green garlic seedlings. The color is bright red, and the meat slices are fat but not greasy. The more they chew, the more fragrant they get. It can be said that they are "cooking artifacts".
Of course, the unique taste of Sichuan-style pork is inseparable from strict control of raw materials. Meat must be made from pig's back, and sliced meat must be peeled. Stir-fry the fat of the meat in the process of stir-frying, which is the key step to be fat but not greasy.
Second, boiled meat slices.
The history of boiled meat slices is earlier than that of boiled fish, which is characterized by pouring hot oil on the plate to stimulate the fragrance of spices. Sprinkle a handful of coriander, it's delicious. Its meat slices are fresh, tender, spicy and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless when eaten in one bite. Joe's father likes to pour soup on rice, which makes his mouth water.
Third, Mapo tofu.
Do you think Mapo tofu is named because of its spicy taste? Actually, it is not. It is precisely because the founder of this dish has pockmarked faces that it is named "Mapo Tofu".
Legend has it that many years ago, a small restaurant was about to close, and there were not many vegetables left in the kitchen, so the proprietress made a dish with tofu, minced meat and lobster sauce. Unexpectedly, it was well received by diners. Since then, "Mapo Tofu" has become a home-cooked dish on people's table, one of the top ten classic dishes in Sichuan and a world-famous international dish.
Fourth, Dongpo elbow
Dongpo elbow was named after Su Shi, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Because Mr. Dongpo loves elbow, he named this dish "Dongpo elbow", which is a specialty of Meishan, Sichuan. It uses elbow as the main raw material and adds a variety of seasonings. After 13 steps, simmer for 5 hours with low heat, which is full of chewiness. It has the characteristics of milky white soup, mellow taste and tender meat.
Five, Mao
Maoxuewang's ingredients can be said to be quite rich, such as hairy belly, fat sausage, squid, eel slices, lunch meat, duck blood, bean sprouts and so on. The local authentic Maoxuewang red oil accounts for more than half of the soup. Because it is rich in ingredients, it tastes more enjoyable. Spicy and delicious, all over the country, it is a must-have food for most people.
Six, spicy chicken
Spicy chicken can be said to be a famous dish. When we hear this name, we can feel its spicy taste, so the most important thing for spicy chicken is the choice of pepper. This dish not only requires a lot of peppers, but also has a variety, which plays a role in enhancing color and fragrance.
The chicken here should be cut into small pieces. Marinate with onion ginger, cooking wine, chicken essence and monosodium glutamate for half an hour before frying to make it fully tasty. The uniqueness of this dish is that there are more peppers than chicken pieces, and the feeling of finding meat from peppers is the most special.
