Served with chopped mushrooms, Chinese sausage and century eggs, Hong Kong Crowne Plaza Hotel’s congee transformed this congee non-fan into an aficionado.
Unlike its Chinese-American incarnation, there is no frying involved in making this dish. Poached chicken is cut into strips, doused with Sichuan chili oil and topped with sliced scallions.
Fiery in the mouth and fiery in appearance, this infused oil is flavored by Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, bay leaves, onion, star anise, cumin and Chinese five-spice powder. Use it for dipping, drizzling, or as the base for chili sauces.
Inspired by a dish we enjoyed at a restaurant in Osaka (yes, in Osaka!), this Sichuan stir fried potatoes has a bit of heat, plenty of crunch and a ton of flavors. A great side dish!
