More info

Sichuan province is famous across China and increasingly around the world for its flavoursome and unique dishes. Hot chillies and Sichuan pepper feature in much of the cooking and the term ‘mala’ in Chinese refers to the associated numbing and spicy flavour. Here we’ve got a modern-day version of a Sichuan feast - sticky rice with spicy gong bao chicken, potstickers (Chinese dumplings), chilli sauce and a ‘composed’ soy sauce cooked with aromatics including black cardamon, cassia and star anise.

I really loved this kit. The spicy rice bowl was brilliant and the potstickers were really lovely. I am thoroughly enjoying all the Asian dishes from the spicery and would love more (Asian legends kit anyone?)
