Szechuan chicken takeaway7/9/2023 It’s easy to confuse Szechuan chicken and Hunan chicken since the dishes are very similar. The dish is made of chicken that has been marinated and dipped in egg and cornstarch, and stir fried with dried chili peppers and a simple soy and sesame sauce. Szechuan chicken is a spicy dish that hails from China’s Sichuan province. Not only do I love the flavor profile, I’m also all over the texture of their chicken which is why I thought of sharing this Szechuan chicken recipe with you. Szechuan is a very simple dish that I love making because of its vibrant red color and smoky, nutty, and spicy taste. Every dish is an explosion of flavor and the food will often leave with a tingly and numbing sensation. Szechuan cuisine is a different beast – the food is punchy and they don’t hold back on spices or heat. Cantonese food is milder and less pungent in general (at least from what I experienced during the three years I lived there). I traveled to Hong Kong at the age of 12 but don’t remember much about the food, except for one dinner in a jumbo floating boat where plates of food made a brief appearance at our table before being snatched away, faster than I had time to taste them.īeside, Hong Kong offers Cantonese food which is a completely different cuisine than Szechuan. I grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere, Canada, so my knowledge of Chinese food was very limited until I was in my early 20s. I love Szechuan food but it wasn’t until I lived in Taipei that I was introduced to a different style of Chinese cuisine. It’s easy Chinese food that’s packed with flavor and vibrant colors and only takes 25 minutes from start to finish! This Szechuan chicken stir fry hits the spot whenever I’m craving spicy hot food.
