I came home from a muggy, boring day at work and found this on the table. Not too shabby!
Well done brother!
These are 2 classic Sichuan dishes both using the unique Sichuan peppercorn which causes a slight numbing sensation in your mouth. Amazing! Someone recently told me that it contains small traces of cyanide that causes that unique anaesthetic effect. Whatever it is, since I came across it on my travels in China, I'm totally hooked!
If you want to try out any Sichuan food, check out Fuscia Dunlop's books- they are easy to follow and are about as authentic as you can possibly find!

Nice work Harbords! Looks delicious... although slightly worried by the cyanide aspect!
Fancy meeting up for dinner soon. Tom can cook!
