Szechuan Chef (again)

mmm-yoso!!! is the name of this food blog, written by three friends.  Today, Kirk and Ed(from Yuma) are unable to write about any meals either has consumed recently and Cathy's got a meal recorded on her camera, ready to share.

It's been *hot* the past few days! When I woke (around 2 a.m.) it was 65 and by 2 p.m., it was 101.  {I fall asleep around 7 p.m., if you are concerned}.  It was a day to get chores done early and then do nothing when the heat hit.  Cooking inside our (non-air conditioned) house was not considered.

IMG_6269So, back we went down Convoy Street.  Szechuan Chef is part of our 'rotation', which Kirk first wrote about in 2013  then I wrote about in 2015, posting once more as one of our 'birthday meals' in 2016 and most recently, Kirk wrote about a meal in April

  We try to order one 'new to us' dish as well as one 'familiar' item when we go out and today was no exception. IMG_6263 Fish filet with tofu in black bean sauce ($10.99){rice is $1} was very nice, quite a large portion, had some great flavors and textures. Crispy fish, fried tofu and a not too salty black bean sauce with onion. Mild-no heat.  IMG_6266Of course, my go to here is the deep fried cumin (not turmeric) fish ($10.99). Red pepper, onion, Chinese celery, garlic, ginger and  IMG_6267chile peppers.  We are never asked about what spice level we would like and it always is just enough.  

Stay cool!
