      @ChrisC agree! Sichuan food is my favorite but most UK Chinese takeaway is the usual sweet n slop stuff, great to settle the cravings but rarely the real deal.

      Jinli in Camden isn't too far for me I've had some great meals there, give it a go if your ever in London, the trotters are 🔥

      Anyway this is the recipe I used to learn to make it and now do so regularly

        Last nights Mapo Tofu

        Mapo Tofu mentioned - I'm just going to sit and wait until @JoshC and @Ross enter the chat

        Prost!

          @hjl360 the first time I made this added way too much Szechuan peppercorn and I could feel my mouth for half the meal. Fully worth it.

            @jordanscollected 😆 😆 easy mistake to make!! I usually buy a big bag and they last for best part of a year, losing potency as time goes by and more and more needed in each dish, I have forgotten to adjust quantity when going to a fresh bag before and it can make a meal a bit crazy

                                      @Ikeaparty this looks amazing, I don't think I've ever had Laotian food before but I might have to have a google based on this

                                          My free rice cooker bit the dust (Aroma brand), so I figured I’d splurge for a Made in Japan model. First cook is in.
