Explore Sichuan dishes, the most popular cuisine in China
Sichuan, the birthplace of many dishes that are well-received globally. It has bold flavors, particularly the pungency and spiciness resulting from liberal use of garlic and chili peppers, as well as the unique flavor of Sichuan pepper.

The main ingredients include hot pepper, Chinese crystal sugar, and wine. Slices of the kidney, chicken breast, beef tripe, goose intestines, spring onion, soybean sprouts, mushrooms, duck, and sea cucumber are the usual meats used in the dish.

Although this one is less famous outside Sichuan, it is considered even better than Kung Pao chicken for many Sichuan people. A plate of crispy chicken smothered in chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and tons of aromatics to create an electrifyingly hot numbing sensation that’s so addictive. Take the challenge if you can handle the heat.

  • Dry Stir Fried Green Beans

    There has been a misconception about this dish being oily and heavy. However, when done right in Sichuan province, the stir-fried green beans are supposed to be light and crunchy. Also known as snap beans or string beans, the beans are prepared with the cooking technique "dry-frying" where lesser oil is needed and a longer frying time required. This dehydrates the beans, creating a crispy outer layer. The beans are subsequently tossed sufficiently in chili-flavored oil, Sichuan pepper, scallions, garlic, and ginger.

  • Twice-cooked Pork

    Made by simmering pork belly in heavily salted water, then slicing it thin and stir-frying it until crisp in a sauce flavored with fermented soybeans, plenty of leeks, and just a hint of chilies, it's essentially an entire meal that consists of sweet and salty bacon without much heat.

  • Wontons in Sour-Hot Sauce

    The wontons in Sichuan (known locally as choushou) aren't known for their delicate skins or flavorful fillings, but rather the sauce they come served in. These are all words that should enter your head as you slide back a bowl of suanla Chaozhou, the Sichuan-style wontons that come coated in an intensely aromatic sauce made with vinegar, garlic, and roasted chili oil. Sweet and savory, these are things that need to describe the delicious dish.
