Hwa Yuan Szechuan

Cold Sesame Noodles

The dish that made Hwa Yuan famous — chewy noodles coated in a rich, nutty sesame paste with a slow-building chili heat and a hint of vinegar tang.

Mapo Tofu

Silken tofu in a deeply spiced fermented black bean and chili sauce with numbing Sichuan peppercorn — properly fiery and aromatic.

Dry-Fried String Beans

Blistered and slightly charred green beans tossed with minced pork, dried chili, and preserved vegetables — a textural standout on the table.

Dan Dan Noodles

Wheat noodles in a spicy, savory sauce of chili oil, sesame paste, and ground pork — a Sichuan street food classic executed with conviction.

Twice-Cooked Pork

Sliced pork belly stir-fried with leeks and fermented black bean paste until the edges caramelize and the fat renders into something silky.

Spicy Wontons in Chili Oil

Plump pork wontons swimming in a glossy, numbing chili oil sauce — a crowd-pleasing starter that disappears fast at the table.
