Sichuan/Szechuan Spicy Fish 四川水煮鱼肉片 is the most famous dish in China Sichuan province . A mixture of beautiful ingredients (spicy board bean paste, garlic, ginger etc) makes a very aromatic soup base for this Sichuan/Szechuan spicy boiled fish dish. Other important ingredients are Sichuan peppercorn, which provide the signature numbness (mala麻辣) and dried chillies, which provide the signature spiciness. This is a good choice if you are thinking of bean sprouts recipes, sweet potato noodles recipes or coriander recipes at home. Use less chilli oil if you want to make it a healthy home-made Chinese cuisine. What a wonderful Sichuan hot pot cuisine.
