🇨🇳 China recipe

Ma La Xiang Guo

A fiery, fragrant dry-pot stir-fry that translates to numbing-spicy fragrant pot. Unlike Sichuan hot pot, which uses a communal broth, ma la xiang guo features your chosen ingredients stir-fried in a wickedly spicy, aromatic oil loaded with dried chillies, Sichuan peppercorns, and a medley of warm spices. It is bold, customisable, and intensely flavourful.
