Sichuan Cuisine
Sichuan province
There are eight great traditions of Chinese cooking - and spicy tasty Sichuan is the most delicious. Within Sichuan cooking there are four styles - Chengdu, Chongging, Greater (Yangtze) River style and the Lesser (Jialing) River style. Not that you need to know that, just bring your tummy. And the best place to taste it is of course Sichuan province in western China where many of the unique flavours and seasonings come from. From Zhongba, soy sauce, from Baoning, cooking vinegar, from Tongchaun, fermented soy beans, from Congging, chilli sauce, from Fuling, hot pickled mustard tubers and so it goes on. The warm and humid climate, which led to such innovative preserving techniques will make you hungry and thirsty so choose a nearby restaurant and pick up your chopsticks and your rice and tuck in, perhaps Kung Pao chicken or Twice Cooked pork. In China eating is a communal thing, so not only will you broaden your tastes but make new friends too.
