SICHUAN BOILED FISH ( 水煮鱼 )
Sichuan boiled fish gets undeservedly little attention because it is supressed by the bestknown Sichuan dishes - Mapo tofu, Kong Pao chicken and minced pork with garlic sauce. However, anyone who tries this spicy, hot speciality is sure to be impressed. However, it is worth knowing that it is one of the spiciest Chinese dishes, and its ’power’ comes from the combination of dried chilli, Sichuan chilli bean paste and chilli powder. For the best taste experience, fresh fish fillets are the most recommended.
