QUESTION:
It
seems almost impossible when traveling in
China to sample the whole range of amazing
cuisine, food and dishes available. No matter
how hard you try there will always be something
that you miss out on.
An interesting dish to try comes
from one of China's best-known cuisines -
Sichuan (or Szechuan) cuisine.
The dish's name comes from the
fact that the meat is first boiled, and then
stir-fried, the end result being both colorful
and spicy. Served with green and red peppers
(Sichuan cuisine is well know for its spicy
heat!), and the meat is flavored with hoisin
sauce and salted black beans.
What is the name of this amazing
dish?
A. Pork with Peppers;
B. Twice-cooked Pork;
C. Sichuan Pork;
D. Wow! - That's Hot Pork.
ANSWER:
And
the winner is... B! Twice Cooked Pork.
This is an authentic Sichuan
dish, so much so that it is said if you go
to a restaurant featuring authentic cuisine
and they do not serve this dish, you should
leave.
The Chinese name for Twice Cooked
Pork is Hui Guo Rou.
