So I am enjoying left over chinese food. Mmmmmm.... szechuan.

Anyone else eating chinese food now?
 
Mongolian Beef, Hunan Beef, and uhh ribeyes😛 are good. I like chineese food, its much better when you make it yourself. Grab one of those "China The Beautiful Cookbook" from your bookstore, it has awesome recipies and pictures and history of the food/China; hardcover is about $50 last i checked, paperback in considerably less.
 
Anything spicy would be good now. Had some Hunan Beef earlier and some Hot and Sour soup yesterday. With this cold, I was even thinking about trying some of the god-awful red pepers that people tell you not to eat -- just to see if they'd tast like something other than cardbord.

Just thought I'd share.

If you want to clear out those sinuses, there is only one option:

Horseradish.

😀

 
while I don't know what it tastes like, I can most definately tell you that its NOT spicy.

if you want spicy, go to Duff's famous wings, south of Egglington on Bayview in Toronto. Order their Armageddon and....oh man. Does 850000 scolville units mean anything to you?

So I gotta take the bait. How exactly does one take the horseradish? Buy a root and start grating it ? Gotta be a better way, right?

Sorry for the slightly off topic reply. Perhaps someone can relate this to Chinese cooking? 🙂

You can buy it at the store in a jar already to eat. It comes in either grated root or a mayo type sauce. I noticed that it clears my sinuses big time, it may help you.

Be forwarned, its potent stuff.

Trust me, its spicy.

850,000 scolville units is nothing. I use sauce that is rated at over 1 million scolville units: http://extremefood.com/product.php?id=9


Crap, Blair has reformulated it. It is now 280,000 units.

Good thing I still have a few bottles of the original 1 million version here.

Forgive me for having doubted you, mon ami. 🙂

Do you know of any places in TO that sell Possible Effects, Daves or Blairs? I used to eat Possible Side Effects as well, but the place I brought them from stopped selling them.

Check my edit above. 🙁

I got my bottles at my local Sobeys. They used to have a huge display with about 50 different kinds.

Not sure where else to look.
 
Perhaps I should open the yellow pages and start calling all sobeys and domions around here...one of them must have it.
 
hard to say.

might be best to just go and look around at different stores or maybe a specialty market.

I am going to bed now, I have to work at 11:00 AM Monday. 😉

Hey, recommendation if you ever get a chance.
There's this restaurant called old szechuan right next to Sears in Bellevue (148th).
It is one of the best szechuan food place.
The spicy dishes are hardcore spicy.
Or you can pay $10+tax+tips for all you can eat hot pot. They have pot stickers included in the all you can eat too.

OMG That's my favorite place to eat. What do you get? Heres what i get almost everytime:

Zhang Fei niu/shui zhu niu/dou hua niu (one of those 3)
fu qi fei pian
ma yi shang shu

then i vary it up w/ the other stuff. Their spicy noodles are awesome. This is by far my favorite chinese food place
 
Yes!! That has to be the best Chinese restaurant in town.
Sun Jin (the province) lamb
Stir fry again pork <-- wui woh yuk.

Last month I went to hot pot twice.
Yes, the spicy noodles is extremely good. But I am kind of afraid of it now because I got a horrible soar throat after eating the whole thing by myself once.
The pot stickers are really good, especially the sauce.

Oh man i forgot the lamb.

Try this soup they have, this rib soup. They serve it in a big earthen bowl w/ cabbage. Soooo good. I also like the "A- cai" or A-vegetable. Im not sure what it is , and its not spicy, but it's a good change of flavor from the usual.
 
Just to be precise, the Chinese are writing it "Sichuan" these days. 😉

Spiciest food I've had recently was at a Thai restaurant in Guangzhou, China. Dinner was TOO spicy to be enjoyable, and I didn't even get the really hot stuff. I normally like spicy food, but there's a limit!

Nice! 😎

Don't see many places offering *REAL* hot stuff. I'm not a fan of "false" hot that is created by adding vinegar to tabbasco sauce. Gimme the real stuff made from freebased habeneros.
 
My Chinese first name is Szewai, so I like to spell Szechuan "Szechuan" 😉

Thai spicy is something I don't enjoy as well. It's just spicy for the sake of spicy, not spicy for the sake of tasty.

A cai is a special breed of chinese lettuce mix with something else, definitely one of the tastiest vegetable.
I think I will go Old szechuan this weekend just for the hell of it.
