It had been a while and the Missus was craving the Suan Cai dish…..mostly for the leftovers to reheat with our fairly potent homemade Suan Cai; so I went ahead and grabbed lunch. The same really friendly woman was working and she knew exactly what I was going to order "for your wife".
Not as much "gravy" as before and not stir fried as much. Still, fairly sour…..this is one of those dishes that tastes better the next day, after it had time for the flavors to meld a bit further. It could be that we added our own suan cai as well.
I needed a vegetable dish so I got the Cauliflower Dry Pot; which was pretty darn spicy.
Though you didn't get the nice buzz of Sichuan Peppercorns.
The woman recommended the Crispy Pork; which was indeed crispy and the temperature was molten hot.
It was also super sweet, it was doused in a super thick, super sweet syrup, which seized up with a texture like toffee as it cooeld down. The thin strings of ginger helped cut the sweetness a bit; but it just wasn't enough. Great texture though.
