Szechuan Tofu with Mushrooms and Baby Bok Choi
Have you ever chewed Szechuan peppercorns by themselves? They make your tongue tingle, a feeling like licking a battery. It’s like nothing else in the world – you can see why Szechuan foods are sometimes labelled “Numb and Spicy” when translated from Chinese.
