An Introduction to Sichuan Cuisine

From the organizers:

Sichuan cooking is well-known for its addictive spicy dishes. And although the flavors are complex, creating the dishes from scratch is surprisingly easy, with a few key ingredients and techniques.

In this 2-hour intro class to Sichuan cooking, you’ll learn how to whip up delicious Sichuan dishes in your own kitchen. We’ll discuss the various uses of Sichuan pepper, the backbone of Sichuan cooking, as well as other essential ingredients in a Chinese pantry. And of course, we’ll create three delicious dishes to share: dan dan noodles (uses pork), kung pao chicken, and Sichuan cucumber salad.
