Tasty Szechuan

Mapo Tofu

Silken tofu in a deeply spiced doubanjiang sauce with ground pork and enough Sichuan peppercorn to leave your lips buzzing

Dan Dan Noodles

Chewy noodles tossed in sesame paste, chili oil, and ground pork with a clean, layered heat rather than one-note fire

Boiled Fish in Chili Broth

Tender white fish poached in a scarlet broth loaded with dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorn — the kitchen's most ambitious dish

Kung Pao Chicken

A workhorse version — wok-blistered chicken with dried chilies and peanuts, properly savory with a sticky, not sweet, sauce

Spicy Wontons

Tender pork wontons in chili oil with a garlic-forward dressing — a good starter to calibrate the kitchen's spice level

Twice Cooked Pork

Pork belly sliced thin and stir-fried with leeks and fermented black bean paste — rich, smoky, and more complex than it looks
