Here is an English translation of a popular Sichuan dish - Ma La Xiang Guo:
Ma La Xiang Guo, also known as "Spicy Hot Pot," is a traditional Sichuan dish that has gained popularity all over the world. It consists of a spicy and flavorful broth cooked with various meats, vegetables, and spices, which are then dipped into different sauces to enhance the taste.
The ingredients used in Ma La Xiang Guo can vary depending on the region and personal preference, but some common ones include beef or lamb slices, chili peppers, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, fermented broad bean paste, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch mixed with water, vegetable oil, salt, and sugar.
To make Ma La Xiang Guo, first marinate the meat in a mixture of spices and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes. Heat up some vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan and add the marinated meat, stirring-frying until it turns golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, heat up more oil if necessary and stir-fry the dried chili peppers and garlic until fragrant. Then add the meat back into the pan and continue to stir-fry for another minute or two until everything is well combined. Finally, serve hot with steamed rice or noodles, and garnish with green onions and cilantro if desired.
Ma La Xiang Guo is not only delicious but also nutritious, as it contains various vitamins and minerals from the meat and vegetables. It is a perfect meal for cold winter days or gatherings with friends and family.
