Sichuan Pepper-Sesame Mooncake — 椒盐麻饼

This crispy, flaky Sichuan mooncake — jiaoyan mabing — layers a buttery (oil) pastry around a fragrant sesame, sugar, salt, and Sichuan peppercorn filling, just like the ones eaten at Mid-Autumn Festival for centuries. 这款酥脆的四川椒盐麻饼,把油酥皮层层包裹在芝麻、糖、盐和花椒的馅料里,正是中秋团圆桌上流传了上百年的老味道。

Main Dishes

Vegan Kung Pao Mushroom — 素宫保鸡丁

This plant-based riff on Sichuan’s most famous dish swaps the chicken for meaty king oyster mushrooms, tossed in a glossy six-ingredient Kung Pao sauce with toasted peanuts and a tingle of Sichuan peppercorn. 这道川菜名菜的纯素版本,以厚实的杏鲍菇取代鸡肉,裹上六种食材调成的宫保汁,配炒花生与花椒的麻香,一口下去过瘾又满足。
